If one gallon = 4 quarts
Then 5 gallons = x quarts
To solve this we can set up a porportion
1/4 = 5/x
To solve the porportion we need to find the rule so how to we get to 4 from 1? Well we can multiply 1 by 4 to get one right?
So if this is true, 1 x 4 = 4 then 5 x 4 must equal x
5 x 4 = 20 so the answer would be 20 quarts are in 5 gallons
Another way to look at this is that you have 5 gallons and in each gallon is 4 quarts to if there is 4 quarts in every one gallon then that’s just 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 or 5 x 4
I hope this helps! <3
So i
Both servings of pancakes cost $8.50
One serving of pancakes cost $4.35
Equation: 1.15 (2x + 1.50) = 11.50
2.3x + 1.725 + 11.50
2.3x = 9.725
x = 4.25 for one serving of pancakes
2x = 8.50 for both servings of pancakes
He bikes 4/10 of a mile in 1/5 of an hour
That is 4/10 miles in 1/5 hours
Average speed = Distance/ time = 4/10 ÷ 1/5 = 4/10 × 5/1 = 2 miles/hour
I suspect you may have slipped up as you copied the question. Exactly as you wrote it, it has a single zero, at x= 2 .
