Hi there
Replace the blank space by x
so x/7 > 800
All you have to do is cross-multiply
x > 7*800
x> 5600
I hope that's help !
The third one down is the correct answer. (-55 and 1)
let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then divide.
![\bf \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{5}{4}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{4}{5}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 5+4}{5}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{19}{5}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{5}{4}\div\cfrac{19}{5}\implies \cfrac{5}{4}\cdot \cfrac{5}{19}\implies \cfrac{25}{76}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cstackrel%7Bmixed%7D%7B1%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B1%5Ccdot%204%2B1%7D%7B4%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7Bimproper%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B5%7D%7B4%7D%7D~%5Chfill%20%5Cstackrel%7Bmixed%7D%7B3%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B5%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B3%5Ccdot%205%2B4%7D%7B5%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7Bimproper%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B19%7D%7B5%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20~%5Cdotfill%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Ccfrac%7B5%7D%7B4%7D%5Cdiv%5Ccfrac%7B19%7D%7B5%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B5%7D%7B4%7D%5Ccdot%20%5Ccfrac%7B5%7D%7B19%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B25%7D%7B76%7D)
Solution:
<u>Note that:</u>
- Abby's dog: 1.5 cups of food
- Braxton's dog: 4.5 cups of food
Looking at the information we got, we can say that Braxton's dog eats more. Let's put them into ratio form (Braxton's dog:Abby's dog)
- => (Braxton's dog:Abby's dog) = 4.5:1.5
<u>Now, put them into fractions.</u>
We can conclude that Braxton's dog eats 3 times more food.
