Karen bought 8.5 pounds of flour. She uses only 2.5 pounds of flour to make the bread.
So, the amount of flour left after baking the bread = (8.5 - 2.5) pounds
= 6 pounds
So 6 pounds of flour is left. She breaks this 6 pounds of flour into several bags and each bag contains 2/5 pound of flour.
Now to calculate the 2/5 th pound of flour in decimal, we get = 0.4 pounds
So each of the bags contain 0.4 pounds of flour. Now we have to calculate the number of bags in which the flour have been kept.
So,
Number of bags required = 6/0.4
= 15
So 15 small storage bags are required by Karen to keep the remaining flour.
Answer: 2 cups
Step-by-step explanation: Olivia spends 4$ and nothing more. 1$ is her profit that can continue to gain and can be represented as 1x or x. x-4 is the equation to represent her profit. Nathan spends 5$ and 0.50$ is his profit which can be shown as 0.5x. 0.5x-5 is the equation to represent his profit.
Set those two equations equal to each other.
Isolate x.
Solve for x.
Since x represents the amount of cups sold, you cannot have a negative amount of cups sold. Therefore, Olivia and Nathan must sell 2 cups to make the same profit.
Answer:
180 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
If it is a square barn, all four sides will be the same length. Because you know the length of one of the sides, you can simply multiply that value by 4, and get the perimeter.
