Bell and Eva are sharing 1600 ml of maple syrup. Eva receives 3/5 of the amount received by Bell minus 40 ml. How many milliliters of maple syrup do each of them receive?
Bell: ( 1600 + ___)* ___/___= ____
Eva : ( 1600 + ___)* ___/___-40= _____
wat do i fill in the blanks with?
It can't be that one of them got 1600, they only have 1600 maple syrup and their sharing them
That is not the way I would set up the problem initially.
E = (3/5)B -40
E + B = 1600
(1600-B) = (3/5)B-40
(8/5) B = 1600 +40
B = (1600 + 40)*(5/8)= 1025
E = 1600 - B = 575
It is not clear from your statement of the problem whether Eva gets 3/5 of Bell's amount and THEN you subtract 40 (as I did) or whether it of 3/5 of (Bell's amount - 40).
when u say (8/5)B= 1600+40, do u mean (5/8)? im only in sixth grade n m confused
To calculate how much syrup Bell and Eva each receive, we first need to find the amount of syrup received by Bell. Let's fill in the blanks step by step:
Bell: (1600 + ___) * ___/___ = ____
1. Fill in the first blank: Since Bell and Eva are sharing 1600 ml of syrup, Bell's portion plus Eva's portion should add up to 1600 ml. Therefore, we can write: (1600 + ___).
2. Fill in the second blank: According to the given information, Eva receives 3/5 of the amount received by Bell minus 40 ml. This means Eva gets 3/5 * (Bell's portion) - 40 ml. So, we can fill in the second blank with 3/5: (1600 + ___) * 3/5 / ___.
3. Fill in the third and fourth blanks: To complete the equation, we need to determine the denominator of the fraction. Since the total amount of syrup they are sharing is 1600 ml, the denominator should be 1600. Therefore, we can fill in the third and fourth blanks with 1600: (1600 + ___) * 3/5 / 1600 = ____.
By following this process, you can now solve the equation to find out how much syrup Bell receives.
Similarly, to find the amount of syrup Eva receives, we can fill in the blanks for Eva's part of the equation:
Eva: (1600 + ___) * ___/___ - 40 = ____
Repeat the steps above for Eva's equation, filling in the blanks accordingly.
bell=1,560
Eva=1,600
bell=575
Eva=1,600
