Mrs Larnell is making a snack packs for a a class picnic. She puts 1/4 pound of apples,1/8 pound of nut mix, and 1/16 pound of chocolate in each of the students packs. There are 24 students in the class.What is the total weight of the snack packs? Is there more than one way to solve this problem?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Answer=10 1/2 pounds

One pack has 1/4+1/8+1/16 pounds of snacks....

Lets starts off giving our fractions of 1/4, 1/8 and 1/16 a common denominator of 16.

1/4=4/16
1/8=2/16
1/16=1/16

So...

x=4/16+2/16+1/16
x=7/16

So... One pack has 7/16lbs of snacks in it

Multiply 7/16lbs by the total number of students(24)..

7/16*24=10 1/2 pounds
________________________________________________________
another way of solving this problem could be...

1/4*24=6
1/8*24=3
1/16*24=1.5

6+3+1.5=10.5 pounds

48 --> 48 ÷ 12 = 4

84 ---> 84 ÷ 12 = 7

48 factors ⇒ 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48
84 factors ⇒ 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 84

GCF ⇒ 12

The greatest common factor (GCF) of 48 and 84 is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

The factors of 48 are : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48

The factors of 84 are : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 84

A constant of proportionality can also be considered a(n) unit rate. y-value. x-value. ratio.

Answers

Answer:

A. Unit rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a statement and we are supposed to choose the correct option for our given statement.

Statement:

A constant of proportionality can also be considered a(n) .

Since we know that constant of proportionality represents the amount by which two proportional quantities vary.

Two quantities are directly proportional, when they are in form $y=kx$ , where k represents the constant of proportionality.

We can represent this proportion also as: $k=(y)/(x)$

Since k represents the quotient of y and x, so the value of k represents the unit rate for two quantities y and x, therefore, a constant of proportionality can also be considered an unit rate.

Answer:

unit rate
