How many quarter pound buyers can george make out of 3 and 1/2 pounds of ground beef?

1 answer:

8 0

Divide the total amount by the portion size.

= 3 1/2 ÷ 1/4
convert 3 1/2 to improper fraction

= (2*3+1)/2 ÷ 1/4
= 7/2 ÷ 1/4

to divide a fraction, we multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 1/4

= 7/2 * 4/1
multiply numerators, then multiply denominators

= (7*4)/(2*1)
= 28/2

= 14

ANSWER: 14

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

Associative property

Step-by-step explanation:

Associative property allows you to put parenthesis in a part of the equation. We can only apply associative property on a part with multiplication or addition. If you do it with at an equation with subtraction or division you can change the result and make calculation mistake.

In this question, all of the operation used is multiplication. The result won't change even if you put parenthesis, both will give result of 480

C/d+2=f/g solve for c

slavikrds [6]

So if you want to solve for c, the best thing to do is isolate the variable. So I personally don't enjoy dealing with fractions that much until the very end, so I am going to multiple the entire equation by $d*g$ to eliminate the fraction. So now the equation is $cg+2dg=fd$ . In order to isolate the c variable, subtract both sides by $2dg$ , which makes it $cg=fd-2dg$ . Now divide both sides by g, $c=\frac{fd-2dg}{g}$ . So that's what c equals in terms of f, d and g.
