8 pies the 1/4 of a cup doesn’t really fit since you’d need another 1/4th of a cup to make a pie
24 cups of flour
20 1/4 divided by 9 is 2 1/4
2 1/4 plus 3/4
Answer:
-6
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume the heights are 160 ft and 1480 ft.
The two heights are unknown, so we will use variable h to help solve the problem.
The shorter building, building A, has height h.
Since building A is shorter by 160 ft, then building B is taller by 160 ft, so the height of building B is h + 160.
Now we add our two heights to find the total height.
h + h + 160 is the total height.
We can write it as 2h + 160
We are told the total height is 1480 ft, so we let 2h + 160 equal 1480, and we have an equation.
2h + 160 = 1480
Subtract 160 from both sides
2h = 1320
Divide both sides by 2
h = 660
h + 160 = 820
Building A measures 660 ft.
building B measures 820 ft.
What you know:
Mr. Adams spent $36.25 on 12.5 pounds.
All you do to find the cost per each pound is:
36.25/12.5
Your answer:
