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?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

$\text{Total Weight of Food Made}, x=5(1)/(8)+6+4(7)/(8)\n\text{Number of Servings}, y=x / (1)/(2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$5(1)/(8)$ pounds of pasta,
6 pounds of sauce; and
$4(7)/(8)$ pounds of onions.

Total Weight of Food Made, x

$=5(1)/(8)+6+4(7)/(8)\n=5+6+4+(1)/(8)+(7)/(8)\n=16 \: Pounds$

Since each serving is $(1)/(2) Pounds$

Number of Servings of her dish, y

$16 / (1)/(2)\n =32 \: Servings$

The two equations needed to solve the problem are therefore:

$\text{Total Weight of Food Made}, x=5(1)/(8)+6+4(7)/(8)\n\text{Number of Servings}, y=x / (1)/(2)$

Hello, lets solve this!

$\sf 7p+8p-12=59\n\n\sf Add~like~terms}\n\n15p - 12=59\n\nAdd~12~on~both~sides\n\n15p -12 + 12 = 59 + 12\n\n15p = 71\n\nDivide~15~on~both~sides\n\n\boxed{\bf{p = (71)/(15) = 4.73333333}}$

Hope I helped! If you have any other qestions or would like further explantion just let me know!! :)

Combine like terms first.
7p+8p=15p
15p-12=59
Now add 12 from both sides.
15p=71
Now divide both sides by 15.
p=4.7333333333
