Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: 5  containers

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Given that

Total amount of potato salad = 10 1/2

amount of salad in each container = 2 1/4

Total number of containers = ?

Step 2

Divide the total amount of potato salad by the amount of salad each container  can hold  

 Total number of containers=10 1/2 / 2 1/4 = 21/2 x 4/9= 84/18 = 4 3/5

which can also be written as 10.5 / 2.25= 4.6  

Sheila  will need 5 containers because  4 will be filled and  additional 1 will be partially filled.

An equivalent fraction for 2/3 is
1. 2/6
2. 1/3
3. 8/15
4. 10/15

Answers

As the given and answers are all fractions, this is merely a trial-and-error method to simplify and see which answers are equivalent to the given fraction. So let us try with all them:

1.) 2/6 = 1/3 (X)
2.) 1/3 is already simplified and is not equivalent to 2/3. (X)
3.) 8/15 is already simplified and is not equivalent to 2/3. (X)
4.) 10/15 = 2/3 (by dividing 5 from both numerator and denominator)

Therefore, the correct answer is 10/15

How far will a jet travel in 2 hours and 30 minutes if its average speed is 450 miles per hour?

Answers

Distance = rate x time

D = 450 mph x 2.5 h
D = 1,125 miles
Well we know that in 1 hour it goes 450 miles. So to figure out how far it goes in 2.5 hours multiply 450 by 2.5 =1125. The jet will go 1,125 miles in 2.5 hours :)
