So how many of 5/8 wood pieces out of a 4 5/8 board
let's make the board size into a improper fraction so 8*4+5 = 37
so the board is 37/8
how many times can 5/8 go into 37/8
37/8 / 5/8
"Keep, change, flip" (for division of fractions)
keep the first number, change the sign into multiplication, and flip the last fraction
37/8 * 8/5
That is 7 2/5
Only 7 full 5/8 feet pieces of wood can be cut from a board that is 4 5/8 feet long (remainder 2/5)
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
8 cups of blue and 12 cups of red
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine 1/3 c of blue + 1/2 c of red = 5/6 c of purple.
(5/6)x = 20
x = (6/5)20 = 24
this is applied to each of the above measurements to show that you need 8 c of blue + 12 c of red.
