If there are 7 frankfurters to the pound, how
many pounds of frankfurters are needed for a
picnic to supply 19 pupils with 2 frankfurters
each?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

6lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Total # of Frankfurters needed.

[tex]19*2=38[/tex]

Divide the total needed by the amount in a lb, to find out how many lbs we need.

[tex]\frac{38}{7}=5.4[/tex]

Therefore, we need 6 full lbs in order to create at least 38 Frankfurters.

If we only have 5lbs, we can only create 35 Frankfurters.

5.4 pounds of frankfurters are needed for a picnic.

there are 7 frankfurters to the pound

let x pounds of frankfurters needed for a picnic. to supply 19 pupils with 2 frankfurters each.

What is the Ratio?

The ratio can be defined as the comparison of the fraction of one quantity towards others. e.g.- water in milk.

since there are 19 pupil and each of has 2 frankfurters.

total frankfurters = 19 x 2
= 38
required pound,
x =38/7
x = 5.4  

Thus, 5.4 pounds of frankfurters are needed for a picnic to supply 19 pupils with 2 frankfurters each.
