Cost of milk per carton = $ 70 cents = 70/100 = $0.7
Cost of bread per loaf = $60 cents = 60/100 = $0.6
Cost of cereals per box = $50 cents = 50/100 = $0.5
Cost of meat per pound = $1.50
If x is the number of cartons of milk bought, then
Number of loafs = x/2
Number pf boxes of cereals = x/2 +1
Number of pounds of meat = x/2 +1
Therefore,
0.7*x + 0.6*x/2 + 0.5 (x/2+1) + 1.5 (x/2+1) = 10
0.7x + 0.3x + 0.25x + 0.5 + 0.75x + 1.5 = 10
2x + 2 =10
2x = 8
x = 4
Substituting;
Milk cartons = 4
Number of bread = 4/2 = 2
Boxes of cereals = 2+1 = 3
Pounds of meat = 3
Answer: 7/32
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply straight across the numerator and do the same for the denominator.

Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
18 yards of material needed to make 24 shirts
Step-by-step explanation:
The unit rate is
1 shirt
------------------------------ = 1 1/3 shirts per yard of material = 4/3 shirt/yard
0.75 yards material
This rate could also be written as 3/4 yard per shirt
Multiply this latter rate by 24 shirts:
3 yard
-------------- * 24 shirts = 18 yards of material needed to make 24 shirts
4 shirt
If we want to write the given four numbers in another form, we can write it like this;
Now let's rewrite the given expression and get the result.
