1.A recipe for 6 1/2 pounds of mixed beef and veggies calls for 2 1/8 pounds of ground beef. If 8 pounds of mixed beef and veggies are desired, how much ground beef will be needed?


2) 5 + { (1/5)/(2/10) + [ (3/10) + (5/20)/(1/2) ] + (2/3)*6 } - [ (1/2)^2*4 ] =

3)Find x in the following equation. 3/7 = x/49

5)Terry is spending $460 per month on vehicle expenses. His total monthly income is $1,380. What lowest permanent status fraction of his income is spent on vehicle expenses?
Answers:
1.you should set up a proportion for this one. it should be 2 1/8 over 6 1/2 equals x over 8. id solve it but i don't have my calculator with me.
2. for (1/5)/(2/10) you want to use recip opps. this means you flip 2/10 to 10/2 and multiply giving you 1. you can add 5 too =6. you can do the same to (5/20)/(1/2) giving you 1/2. affix this to 3/10 and get 8/10 or 4/5. 2/3 *6 would equal 4. now you need to simplify 1/2^2 times 4. tag on in the negative to get -1/4*-4. this will hand over you 1. your final answer will be 6+ 4/5+4-1= 9 4/5.
3.x equals 21. multiply both sides by 49 to get 49/1*3/7. the 49 can be divided by 7 do that gives you 7*3.
4.you would have 2*8 pieces +6/8 of one dollar. this equals 2.75 dollars or 2 3/4 dollars once you simplify the 6/8.
5. put 460 over 1380 and simplify. again, i do not have my calculator with me.
i don't know if my answers are right because i just did adjectives of this in my head,however, i know the solving steps are correct.
