Question

Jeremy buys a value pack of cheese crackers that contains 42 and 1 over 2 ounces of crackers. He divides this into servings of 1 and 1 over 4 ounces each. What is the total number of servings Jeremy can make from the value pack?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Since 1 and 1 over 4 ounce is equal to 5/4 ounce, dividing 42 and 1 over 2 ounces by 5/4 ounces gives [(42 and 1 over 2)+(1 over 2)] / 5/4 = [(85/2)+(1/2)] / 5/4

= [(86/2)] / 5/4 = 43 / 5/4 = 43/1 * 4/5 = 172/5 = <<43/1*4/5=34.4>>34.4 servings. Answer: \boxed{34.4}.

Answer 2

A hot air balloon leaves the ground and rises to an elevation of 1,100 feet. During the next 30 minutes, it descends 500 feet, rises 950 feet, descends 375 feet, and finally passes over a school. What is the elevation of the balloon when it passes over the school?

The balloon starts at an elevation of 0 feet and rises to 1,100 feet. It then descends 500 feet, rises 950 feet, and descends 375 feet before passing over the school.

The total change in elevation can be calculated as follows:
+1,100 - 500 + 950 - 375 = 2,175 feet

Therefore, the elevation of the balloon when it passes over the school is 2,175 feet. Answer: \boxed{2175}.

Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To find the number of servings Jeremy can make from the value pack, we need to divide the total weight of the value pack by the weight of each serving.

The total weight of the value pack is 42 and 1/2 ounces.

The weight of each serving is 1 and 1/4 ounces.

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

So, the number of servings Jeremy can make is:

(42 + 1/2) / (1 + 1/4)

To simplify this fraction, we need to find a common denominator.

The common denominator is 4.

(42 + 1/2) / (1 + 1/4) = (84/2 + 1/2) / (4/4 + 1/4)

= (85/2) / (5/4)

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

= (85/2) * (4/5)

= (85 * 4) / (2 * 5)

= 340/10

= 34

Therefore, Jeremy can make a total of 34 servings from the value pack of cheese crackers.

Answer 5

To find the total number of servings Jeremy can make from the value pack of cheese crackers, we need to divide the total weight of the crackers by the weight of each serving.

First, let's convert 42 and 1/2 ounces to a mixed number:
42 and 1/2 = 42 + 1/2 = 42 + 2/4 + 1/4 = 42 + 2 1/4 = 44 1/4

So, the value pack contains 44 and 1/4 ounces of cheese crackers.

Next, let's convert 1 and 1/4 ounces to a mixed number:
1 and 1/4 = 1 + 1/4 = 4/4 + 1/4 = 5/4

Now, we can divide the total weight of the crackers (44 1/4 ounces) by the weight of each serving (5/4 ounces) to find the total number of servings:

44 1/4 ÷ 5/4 = 44 1/4 × 4/5
= 44 × 4/4 + 1/4 × 4/5
= 176/4 + 4/20
= 44 + 1/5
= 44 1/5

Therefore, Jeremy can make a total of 44 and 1/5 servings from the value pack of cheese crackers.
