Angela is crocheting scarves for seniors at the nursing home. She needs 20 ¼ yards of yarn for each scarf. If she is given 324 yards of yarn by the craft shop, how many scarves can she crochet?(1 point) Responses 16 scarves 16 scarves 304 scarves 304 scarves 344 scarves 344 scarves 32 scarves 32 scarves
To find the number of scarves Angela can crochet, divide the total yardage of yarn by the yardage needed per scarf: 324 yards / 20 ¼ yards/scarf = <<324/20.25=16>>16 scarves. Answer: \boxed{16 \text{ scarves}}.
Kaylee has 4 cups of sugar. She needs to divide the sugar equally into containers holding 1/3 of a cup of sugar. How many containers will Kaylee be able to fill?(1 point) Responses 1 ⅓ cups 1 ⅓ cups 12 cups 12 cups 1/12 cup 1/12 cup ¾ cup
To find the number of containers Kaylee can fill, divide the total amount of sugar by the amount needed per container: 4 cups / 1/3 cup/container = 12 containers. Answer: \boxed{12 \text{ containers}}.
Mrs. Ebert feeds her dog 1/3 of a cup of dog food twice each day. How long will 6 cups of dog food last?(1 point) Responses 18 days 18 days 2 days 2 days 4 days 4 days 9 days 9 days
To find out how long 6 cups of dog food will last, we need to determine how many times the dog will be fed with 6 cups of food.
Since the dog is fed 1/3 of a cup of food twice each day, it means it consumes a total of 2 * 1/3 = 2/3 cup of food per day.
To calculate the number of days 6 cups of dog food will last, we need to divide the total amount of food (6 cups) by the amount consumed per day (2/3 cup).
6 cups / (2/3 cup) = 6 * (3/2) = 9 days.
Answer: \boxed{9 \text{ days}}.
TJ has 12 problems left on his math test. He has solved 2/3 of the problems already. How many problems has TJ solved already?(1 point) Responses 36 problems 36 problems 24 problems 24 problems 48 problems 48 problems 12 problems
To find out how many problems TJ has solved already, we can multiply the total number of problems by the fraction that he has solved.
TJ has solved 2/3 of the 12 problems:
12 * (2/3) = 8 problems.
Answer: \boxed{8 \text{ problems}}.
How do you write 3 ⅖ as an improper fraction?(1 point)
To write 3 ⅖ as an improper fraction, we first convert the whole number part, which is 3 in this case, to an improper fraction by multiplying it by the denominator of the fraction part and adding the numerator.
For 3 ⅖, we have:
3 * 5 = 15
So, the improper fraction for 3 ⅖ is:
15/5
Answer: \boxed{\frac{15}{5}}.
To figure out how many scarves Angela can crochet, we need to divide the total yards of yarn she has by the yards needed for each scarf.
Given:
- Total yards of yarn: 324 yards
- Yards needed for each scarf: 20 ¼ yards
To convert the yards needed for each scarf to a decimal, we can rewrite ¼ as 0.25.
Calculating the number of scarves:
324 yards ÷ 0.25 yards per scarf = 1296 scarves
However, since we are told that each scarf requires 20 ¼ yards of yarn, which is not a whole number, it's likely an error in the question. We'll need to make an assumption and round down or round up the yards needed for each scarf.
If we round down to the nearest whole number, the number of scarves would be:
324 yards ÷ 20 yards per scarf = 16 scarves
Thus, Angela can crochet 16 scarves with 324 yards of yarn.
