Question

If I use 1 pound of sausage for 3/4 pound of cheese how much sausage do I need if I use 1 pound of cheese

Answer 1

Answer:

$1 \frac{1}{3}lb \: sausage$

Step-by-step explanation:

What Iike to do is make it like a ratio.

So you have one pound of sausage per 3/4lb of cheese

$\frac{1lb \: sausage}{( \frac{3}{4} )lb \: cheese} = \frac{sausage}{1lb \: cheese}$

Then you just make that sausage the subject of the equation by multiplying 1lb cheese to both sides of the equation, and you have your answer.

$1lb \: cheese \times \frac{1lb \: sausage}{0.75 \: lb \: cheese} = sausage$

Answer 2

Answer:

1.33

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 = 0.75 pound

1 : 0.75 = x : 1

x = 1 * 1 : 0.75

x = 1.33

--------------check

1 : 0.75 = 1.33 : 1

1.33 = 1.33

the answer is good
