Answer 1

Answer: The ratio of candy to fruit in a pinatas is 1/2 pound to 3/4. if we fill two pinatas and use 4 pounds of candy. how many pounds of will we need? Explain?

Step-by-step explanation:hey I know this isn’t what we’re talking about but MrRoyal I really need you help for this please :(

Answer 2

`Weight = (23)/(2)`

Explanation:

Given

Weight of Pinata = 11/4 lb

Weight of candies = 3/8, 3/8, 1/2 , 1/2, 1/2, 3/4, 3, 11/4

Required

Weight of Pinata when filled with candies

To solve this question, we simply need to add all weights together

First, we need to add up the weight of the candies

`Candies = (3)/(8) + (3)/(8) + (1)/(2)+ (1)/(2)+ (1)/(2)+ (3)/(4) + 3 + (11)/(4)`

Take LCM

`Candies = (3 + 3 + 4 +4 + 4 + 6 + 24 + 22)/(8)`

`Candies = (70)/(8)`

Simplify:

`Candies = (35)/(4)`

Next; Add the weight of the candies to the weight of pinata

`Weight = Candies + Pinata`

`Weight = (35)/(4) + (11)/(4)`

Take LCM

`Weight = (35 + 11)/(4)`

`Weight = (46)/(4)`

Simplify

`Weight = (23)/(2)`

Hence, the weight of the Pinata after it is filled with candies is 23/2 lb
