Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Pru, Piper, Phoebe ratio 5:3:4vadded = 12
What this means is Pru has 5/12 of the total amount, Piper has 3/12 of the total amount, and Phoebe has 4/12 of the total amount of spices.
pru = piper + 24
5/12x = 3/12x + 24
5/12x - 3/12x = 24
2/12x = 24
x = 24 / (1/6)
x = 24 * 6
x = 144 spices in total
Pru has : 5/12(144) = 720/12 = 60 spices
Piper has : 3/12(144) = 432/12 = 36 spices
Phoebe has : 4/12(144) = 576/12 = 48 spices
I hope this can help.
When it comes to hundreds and thousands and even millions, you can tell how much bigger something is by how many more zeros are at the end. Each new zero added, is another rank up. The system goes:
1=10x bigger
2=100x bigger
3=1000x bigger
4=10000x bigger
5=100000 bigger
so on and so forth. There are 2 zeros in 700, and only 1 zero in 70, the difference in zeros is 1, so you can refer to the chart and conclude that 700 is 10 times bigger than 70. You could also divide 700 by 70 to get 10. This is more accurate, but the chart is simpler.
I would say it's 3/8 of a cup because if you multiply 3/4 by 2 it would be 6/8. It's the same amount but just a different measurement. Now just take 3 away from 6/8 and you have 3/8 which is half of 3/4.
