Rick has 1 1/3, or 4/3, pounds of sugar.
He needs to pour 1/4 of this amount into the bowl.
4/3 * 1/4 Multiply the numerators and the denominators
(4*1) / (3*4) = 4/12 Simplify, 4/12 can be simplified to 1/3.
He poured 1/3 pound of sugar.
Now, for flour, we need to find 1/4 of 2/3, using the same process:
(2/3) * (1/4) = (2*1) / (3*4) = 2/12 = 1/6
He poured 1/6 pound of flour
Answer:
- trail mix: $1.25
- jelly beans: $3.50 per pound
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between double the first purchase and the second purchase is $7 and 2 pounds of jelly beans. Hence a pound of jelly beans is $3.50.
(4t +8j) -2(2t +3j) = (33) -2(13) . . . . . let t and j represent pounds of trail mix and jelly beans, respectively
2j = 7 . . . . . . . . . . simplify
j = 7/2 = 3.50
Using that value in the first purchase, we get ...
2t +3(3.50) = 13
2t = 13 -10.50
t = 2.50/2 = 1.25
A pound of trail mix is $1.25.
Answer:
there is 60 minutes in a day or in a hour?
according to 60 min in a hour
Answer: 24*60= 1440 min
Step-by-step explanation:
its impossible to have 60 min in a day.
X = smallest; x + 2 = middle, and x + 4 = largest
x + 2(x+2) = 20 + x + 4
x + 2x + 4=24 +x
3x + 4 = 24 + x
2x = 20
x = 10
so the three integers are 10, 12, and 14
