1 out of 2 times 30 times 15

5 answers

1 out of 2 times 30 times 15 is equal to 225.
Victoria spent 5 9 of her money on a cake and two meat pies each meat pie cost 1 6 as much as the cake she had $24 left.
(A) How much did victoria spend?
(B) How much did the cake cost?
To solve this problem, we can first set up equations based on the given information.

Let's assume Victoria's total money is "x".
The amount she spent on the cake is (5/9)*x.
The cost of each meat pie is (1/6) times the cost of the cake.
Therefore, the cost of each meat pie is ((1/6)*(5/9))*x = (5/54)*x.

According to the problem, Victoria had $24 left.
So, we can set up the equation:
x - [(5/9)*x + 2*(5/54)*x] = 24

Now, let's solve for x.

Multiply both sides of the equation by 54 to eliminate the denominators:
54x - 30x - 2(5x) = 24*54
24x = 1296 - 150 - 60
24x = 1086

Divide both sides by 24 to isolate x:
x = 1086/24
x = 45.25

(A) Victoria spent (5/9)*x = (5/9)*45.25
Spending = $25.14

(B) The cost of the cake is (5/9)*x = (5/9)*45.25
Cake cost = $25.14
Victoria spent 5 9 of her money on a cake and two meat pies each meat pie cost 1 6 as much as the cake she had $24 left.
(A) How much did victoria spend?
(B) How much did the cake cost?
To solve this problem, we can set up the equations based on the given information.

Let's assume Victoria's total money is "x".
According to the problem, Victoria spent 5/9 of her money on a cake and two meat pies.

(A) To find how much Victoria spent, we can calculate 5/9 of her total money.
Spending = (5/9) * x

(B) We are also given that each meat pie cost 1/6 as much as the cake. To find the cost of the cake, we can first find the cost of one meat pie as a fraction of the cake's cost, and then multiply it by 6.
Cost of each meat pie = (1/6) * Cost of the cake

We are given that after spending, Victoria had $24 left. So we can set up the equation:

Remaining money = x - (Spending + 2 * Cost of each meat pie)
$24 = x - [(5/9) * x + 2 * (1/6) * Cost of the cake]

Now, let's solve for x:

$24 = x - [(5/9) * x + (1/3) * Cost of the cake]

Multiply both sides by 9 to eliminate the denominator:

$216 = 9x - 5x - (3/2) * Cost of the cake

Combine like terms:

$216 = 4x - (3/2) * Cost of the cake

Since we have two variables (x and the cost of the cake), we need another equation to solve for both variables. Unfortunately, the information provided is not sufficient to determine the exact cost of the cake and Victoria's total spending.

We can only conclude that Victoria spent 5/9 of her money, but without more information, we cannot determine the exact values.
