Answer:
Question 1: how much more does 1 1/4 pounds of beef cost than 1 1/4 pounds of turkey?
$4.25/pound (beef) / 4 = $1.06 per 1/4 lb = $4.25 + $1.06 = $5.31 per 1 1/4 lb
$2.85/pound (turkey) / 4 = $0.71 per 1/4 lb = $2.85 + $0.71 = $3.56 per 1 1/4 lb
$5.31 - $3.56 = $1.75 the beef is more expensive by this much compared to the 1 1/4 lb of turkey
Question 2: question 2. brad has 10 dollars to spend at ruby's. He orders 1/2 pound of sausage and 1 1/4 pounds of chicken. How much money will he brad have after he pays for this order?
$3.25 / 2 = $1.62 per 1/2 pound of sausage
$2.50 / 4 = $0.62 per 1/4 lb of chicken + $2.50 = $3.13 per 1 1/4 lb of chicken
$1.62 (1/2 lb sausage) + $3.13 (1 1/4 lb chicken) =$4.75
$10 (budget) - $4.75 (total expense) = $5.25 Brad will have this left
3 oranges / 4 friends = 3/4 orange for each of them, or 0.75 orange each
(You can check the answer by saying, if each of them get 3/4 of an orange, then multiplying that by the 4 friends should give me the 3 oranges. 3/4 x 4 = 3, so it's correct).
Since there are 8 students, each student gets 1/8 of the available cake. Since there is 3/4 of a cake available, they will get 1/8 of 3/4.

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
He read 1/3 of the book on the second day
He didn't finish the book in two days.
<u><em>Step-by-step explanation:</em></u>
Lets find 3/5 of 5/9
If we said, find 3/5 of x, the answer would be 3/5x.
3/5*x = 3/5x
In the same way, 
He read 1/3 of the book on the second day
Does 5/9 + 1/3 equal to 1?
1/3 = 3/9
5/9 + 3/9 = 8/9
He didn't finish the book in two days.
Hope this helps :)
Have a nice day!
