Total meat in the recipe he wants to use = 7 pounds
Beef : pork = 3 : 1
Total pork that he will use =

x 7 pounds
= 7/4 pounds
hope this helps
Start with 180.
<span>Is 180 divisible by 2? Yes, so write "2" as one of the prime factors, and then work with the quotient, 90. </span>
<span>Is 90 divisible by 2? Yes, so write "2" (again) as another prime factor, then work with the quotient, 45. </span>
<span>Is 45 divisible by 2? No, so try a bigger divisor. </span>
<span>Is 45 divisible by 3? Yes, so write "3" as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 15 </span>
<span>Is 15 divisible by 3? [Note: no need to revert to "2", because we've already divided out all the 2's] Yes, so write "3" (again) as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 5. </span>
<span>Is 5 divisible by 3? No, so try a bigger divisor. </span>
Is 5 divisible by 4? No, so try a bigger divisor (actually, we know it can't be divisible by 4 becase it's not divisible by 2)
<span>Is 5 divisible by 5? Yes, so write "5" as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 1 </span>
<span>Once you end up with a quotient of "1" you're done. </span>
<span>In this case, you should have written down, "2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5"</span>
I don’t really understand the question at hand but let me try to help
X is equal to 4 we know this because because the sign in between the number means greater than or equal to so 3 x 4 equals 12 and that makes the equation on right true and on the left x is also equal to for which also makes the statement on the right true as well so I think X = 4
I hope I was able to help and If not I’m sorry
You need to show what a and b are plz
