Question

If Mr. Perez has 8 cups of pasta divides the pasta into five bowls equally then he pours one 1/4 of sauce and each bowl how many cups of pasta and sauce are in each bowl

Answer 1

Mr. Perez's eight cups of pasta divided into five bowls give 1.6 cups of pasta per bowl. With the addition of 0.25 cups of sauce to each, each bowl ends up with a combined total of 1.85 cups of pasta and sauce.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many cups of pasta and sauce are in each bowl, first we need to divide the total amount of pasta by the number of bowls. Mr. Perez has 8 cups of pasta and divides it into five bowls equally. To find out how much pasta is in each bowl, we calculate:

1. Divide the 8 cups of pasta by 5 bowls: 8 ÷ 5 = 1.6 cups of pasta per bowl.
2. Next, we add the sauce. Since he pours 1/4 cup of sauce into each bowl, we simply add this to the amount of pasta in each bowl to find the total content per bowl.
3. So, each bowl contains 1.6 cups of pasta plus 0.25 cups (which is 1/4 of a cup) of sauce. Therefore, each bowl has 1.6 + 0.25 = 1.85 cups of pasta and sauce combined.
