Sage is making roasted potatoes for a benefit dinner. The committee gives her money to buy 10 bags of potatoes. Write an equation to help Sage determine how many servings of potatoes she can prepare. Let's let n = number of servings
p = grams of potatoes per serving
c = grams of potatoes in each bag
As we can see we should let n = the number of servings be first.
Then we use ten and put it with the grams of potatoes per servings.
She has already jogged 2 1/2 + 3 2/5 miles. This is 2 5/10 + 3 4/10 or 5 9/10. 8 miles is also equal to 7 10/10 miles. So, to find the remaining amount of miles, we can do 7 10/10 - 5 9/10 = 2 1/10.
