7 2/3 x 4 5 3/4 / 8 1/4 3
7 4/6 2 1/2 3 1/4 3 2/2 + -
___ ___ ___ = ___
To set up the problem and show the solution, we can use the following:
Total chicken bought: 5 3/4 pounds
Chicken needed for recipe: 2 1/2 pounds
To find the remaining unused chicken, we can subtract the chicken needed for the recipe from the total chicken bought.
5 3/4 - 2 1/2 = 7 4/6 - 2 1/2
Simplifying the fractions, we have:
5 3/4 - 2 1/2 = (5+4/4) - (2+2/2) = 5 1/4 - 2 1/2 = (5-2) + (1/4 - 1/2) = 3 + (-1/4) = 2 3/4
Therefore, 2 3/4 pounds of chicken remain unused.
To find out how many pounds of chicken remain unused, we need to subtract the amount of chicken required in the recipe from the amount of chicken Brooke bought.
1. Convert 2 1/2 pounds to an improper fraction: 2 1/2 = (2 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 5/2.
2. Convert 5 3/4 pounds to an improper fraction: 5 3/4 = (5 * 4 + 3) / 4 = 23/4.
3. Subtract the amount of chicken required from the amount bought: 23/4 - 5/2 = (23 - 10) / 4 = 13/4.
Thus, there are 13/4 pounds of chicken remaining unused.
To figure out how many pounds of chicken remained unused, we need to subtract the amount of chicken used for the recipe from the total amount of chicken Brooke bought.
First, let's convert the mixed numbers and fractions to improper fractions:
2 1/2 pounds of chicken = 2 + 1/2 = (2 x 2/2) + 1/2 = 4/2 + 1/2 = 5/2
5 3/4 pounds of chicken = 5 + 3/4 = (5 x 4/4) + 3/4 = 20/4 + 3/4 = 23/4
Now, we can set up the equation:
Total chicken bought - Chicken used for the recipe = Remaining chicken
23/4 - 5/2 = Remaining chicken
To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 2 and 4 is 4.
23/4 - 5/2 = (23/4) - (10/4) = (23 - 10)/4 = 13/4
The solution is 13/4 pounds of chicken remaining unused.
Therefore, the correct equation is:
5 3/4 - 2 1/2 = 13/4
