Briona mixed up 37 1/2 pounds of homemade hot chocolate powder to give as gifts. She is going to put the hot chocolate powder in 3/4 -pound bags.

Question

How many 3/4-pound bags will Briona have?

Answer 1

To find out how many 3/4-pound bags Briona will have, we need to divide the total amount of hot chocolate powder by the weight of each bag.

37 1/2 pounds = 37.5 pounds

37.5 pounds ÷ 3/4 pound = 50 bags

Therefore, Briona will have 50 3/4-pound bags of homemade hot chocolate powder.

Answer 2

Rajindri, a physician assistant who works in an emergency room, earns $163 for every two hours that she works.
Which equation represents the relationship between d, the number of dollars Rajindri earns, and t, the amount of time Rajindri works, in hours?

Answer 3

Since Rajindri earns $163 for every two hours of work, we can set up the equation as follows:

d = 163(t/2)

So, the equation that represents the relationship between d (the number of dollars earned) and t (the amount of time worked in hours) is:

d = 163(t/2)
