Answer:
Each person will get
or approximately 0.23 pounds of chicken.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a word problem involving fractions. Using key words and phrases from the problem, we can decide which operation we need to use to solve. Since Jamie is splitting the chicken equally between three people, she would need to divide the amount of chicken she has by 3:
÷
Since we can't divide fractions, we need to use the 'keep-change-flip' rule to keep the first fraction, change the operation to multiplication and flip the second fraction:

We can convert the fraction into a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator: 7÷30≈0.23 pounds per person.
The total length of the ribbon used is expressed as r and is a product of the number of gifts (g) and the length of ribbon tied in each gift. This relationship may be expressed by the equation,
r = (25) x (g)
The variable for Maggie will be M and 2x-3 be her younger brothers age (<u>Twice her age). </u>We then would turn this into <u>an algebraic problem</u>. (m+2x -3=24).
3x-3=24, we would add 3 to both sides (-3 and 24). 24 + 3 equals 27, we now have to divide -3x and 27 on both sides, which equals <u>9. (x=9)</u>
