A picnic favorite is strawberry Shortcake! Each batch of strawberry
shortcake calls for 1 2/5 pounds of cake and 3/4 pound of strawberries. If
you want to make 5 batches of strawberry shortcake, how many pounds
of cake and strawberries do you need to buy?

To make 5 batches of strawberry shortcake you'll need 7 pounds of cake and 3 3/4 pounds of strawberries for a total sum of 10 3/4 pounds.

1 - Write an equation to represent the problem

For every batch, it takes 1 2/5 pounds of cake and 3/4 pounds of strawberries

therefore

[tex]Let \\\ n_c = pounds~of~cake \\\n_s = pounds~of~strawberries \\\b = number~of~batches[/tex]

[tex]n_c = 1 \frac{2}{5}b \\\n_s = \frac{3}{4}b[/tex]

For ease of math, lets convert these to decimals

[tex]n_c = 1.4b \\\n_s = 0.75b[/tex]

2 - Plug in your variables to solve for cake and strawberries

Cake

[tex]n_c = 1.4b \\\ n_c = 1.4(5)\\n_c = 7[/tex]

To make 5 batches of strawberry shortcake you will need 7 pounds of cake

Strawberry

[tex]n_s = 0.75b \\\n_s = 0.75(5) \\\n_s = 3.75[/tex]

to make 5 batches of strawberry shortcake you will need 3.75 or 3 3/4 pounds of strawberries --- Totalling in at 10.75 pounds or 10 3/4

Hope this helps :)

The science center has 200 people in attendance on Monday. The center expects Saturday’s attendance to be 140 percent of Monday’s attendance. Natasha is trying to figure out how many people will be in attendance. Her work is shown below. StartFraction part Over whole EndFraction = StartFraction 140 Over 100 EndFraction StartFraction 140 divided by 2 Over 100 times 2 EndFraction = StartFraction question mark Over 200 EndFraction 140 divided by 2 = 70 70 people will be in attendance. What mistake did Natasha make? Natasha should have multiplied 140 by 2. Natasha should have divided 100 by 2. Natasha should have added 140 and 200. Natasha should have multiplied 140 and 200.
