Chef Selena is making her special dish that requires pasta, sauce, and onions. She has 5 1/8 pounds of pasta, 6 pounds of sauce, and 4 7/8 pounds of onions. How many servings of her dish can she make if each serving is 1/2 pound? Which two equations are needed to solve the problem?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\text{Total Weight of Food Made}, x=5\frac{1}{8}+6+4\frac{7}{8}\\\text{Number of Servings}, y=x \div \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The Weight of Ingredients to be used by Chef Selena are:

  • [tex]5\frac{1}{8}[/tex] pounds of pasta,
  • 6 pounds of sauce; and
  • [tex]4\frac{7}{8}[/tex] pounds of onions.

Total Weight of Food Made, x

[tex]=5\frac{1}{8}+6+4\frac{7}{8}\\=5+6+4+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{7}{8}\\=16 \: Pounds[/tex]

Since each serving is [tex]\frac{1}{2} Pounds[/tex]

Number of Servings of her dish, y

[tex]16 \div \frac{1}{2}\\ =32 \: Servings[/tex]

The two equations needed to solve the problem are therefore:

[tex]\text{Total Weight of Food Made}, x=5\frac{1}{8}+6+4\frac{7}{8}\\\text{Number of Servings}, y=x \div \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
