Question

a chef uses 3 3/4 pounds of semolina flour and 1 5/8 pound whole wheat flour for each batch of pasta she makes.one week she uses a total of 86 pounds of flour 

WRITE AN EQUATION:

Answer 1

`1 Pasta=(18)/(8)+(5)/(8)=(23)/(8 )` pounds of flour

We create a proportion:


`1(pastas)=(23)/(8 )`


`X=86`


`86=(23)/(8 )x`


`86=2.875x`


`x=29.91`

Chef will be able to make
`29` Pastas and eat what's left :)
