It can't. 9 x 1/4 = 2 and 1/4. The equation in the question is a false statement.
1 ounce --> ?
1/5 --> 1/25
i chaged the freactions to decimal this is what i got,
1ounce --> ?
0.2 ounce--> 0.04 ounces
divide 0.2 ounces by 0.04 ounces and you'll get the answer
0.2 is the answer per pound of jelly you will use o.2 ounces
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let y be the total charge and x no of hours spent for cutting the lawn,
Then for Allan we have the equation as
y = 8.50x+15
SInce 15 is the fixed charge and 8.50 is charged per hour we get the above equation for Allan.
Next similarly for Taylor, we have fixed charges 12 and variale 9.25
y =9.25x+12
When Taylor total charges is greater than Allan's total charge
we have 9.25x+12>8.5x+15
Simplify to get
0.75x>3
Or x>4
Whenever x i.e. no of hours exceed 4, Taylor charges will be greater than that of Allan
Answer: x = 36/5
0=24-5x+12
0=36-5x
5x=36
