A chef cooked vegetables for 22 customers. The chef cooked 1/3 puns of potatoes and 1/4 pound of green beans for each customers.
How many pounds of vegetables did the chef cook for these customers all together?
I hope this helps the answer is 12 5/6 lb. :)
This really didnt help. im trying to find the answer because this is complicated .
To find the total weight of vegetables cooked for all the customers, we need to calculate the combined weight of potatoes and green beans.
Let's start by finding the weight of potatoes for one customer. The chef cooked 1/3 pound of potatoes for each customer. So, to find the total weight of potatoes for all the customers, we'll multiply 1/3 by the number of customers (22):
(1/3) * 22 = 22/3 = 7 1/3 pounds of potatoes
Next, let's find the weight of green beans for one customer. The chef cooked 1/4 pound of green beans for each customer. So, to find the total weight of green beans for all the customers, we'll multiply 1/4 by the number of customers (22):
(1/4) * 22 = 22/4 = 5 1/2 pounds of green beans
Now, let's add the weights of potatoes and green beans to find the total weight of vegetables cooked:
7 1/3 pounds of potatoes + 5 1/2 pounds of green beans = 7 1/3 + 5 1/2 = 12 5/6 pounds of vegetables
Therefore, the chef cooked a total of 12 5/6 pounds of vegetables for all the customers.
22(1/3 + 1/4) = 22 * 7/12 = ____
divide 1/3 and 1/4 then divide 22 by those answers separately
0.3... and 0.25
22/0.25=88
22/0.3...=66
does this help?
