Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
147bags=3days
?bags=5 1/2days
<u>147</u><u>×</u><u>11</u><u>/</u><u>2</u>
3
<u>1617</u><u>÷</u><u>3</u>
2
<u>1617</u><u>×</u><u>1</u>
2 3
=539/2
=269 1/2 bags or 269.5bags
1 gallon cost $15
1 quarts cost $4
1 quarts = 1/4 gallon
15x for number of gallon cans
2 cans at $4 each = $8
15x + 8 = 53
Subtract 8 from both sides:
15x = 53-8
15x = 45
Divide both sides by 15:
x = 45/15
x = 3
