<span>-3(1+6r)=14-r
-3 - 18r = 14 - r ...expand by using distributive property
-3 -17r = 14 ...add (r) to both sides
-17r = 17 ...add (3) to both sides
r = -1 ....divide both sides by (-17)</span>
He can make 3 batches of soup.
Starting with 10 pounds of tomatoes and taking out the number of pounds he sets aside for spaghetti sauce, 2.8, we have:
10-2.8 = 7.2 pounds left.
0.2 is read as "two tenths," so 7.2 = 7 2/10
We divide this remaining number of pounds by 2 2/5 for each batch of soup:
7 2/10 ÷ 2 2/5
Convert each to an improper fraction:
72/10 ÷ 12/5
Multiply by the reciprocal:
72/10 × 5/12 = 360/120 = 3
(10/17) / (-15/17) =
10/17 * - 17/15 =
- 10/15 =
- 2/5 <==
============
2.75 / -2.2 =
- 1.25 <==
============
(-2 3/5) / (3/5) =
- 13/5 * 5/3 =
-13/3 or - 4 1/3 <==
============
(2 1/4) / (3/4) =
9/4 * 4/3 =
9/3 =
3 <==
