Question

BRAINLIEST AND FRIEND please don't read this then leave Evan's mother used 1/3 pound of beef, 1/2 pound of shrimp, and 3 pounds of pasta to make dinner for 4 people. Use this information to answer ALL FOUR PARTS below. Question: Part A: Each person will receive an equal share of beef with none left over. What is the amount, in pounds, of each serving of beef? Part B: Each person will receive an equal share of shrimp with none left over. What is the amount, in pounds, of each serving of shrimp? Part C: Each person will receive an equal share of pasta with none left over. What fraction represents the amount, in pounds, of each serving of pasta? Part D: Evan only ate 1/2 of the pasta that he received. What is the amount, in pounds, of pasta did Evan eat? Explain how you got this answer step-by-step using math vocabulary.

Answer 1

Part A:

By unitary method,

Beef used = 1/3 pound, and none is left over

Meal for four people has 1/3 pound of beef

Therefore, meal for each person has 1/(4*3) pound of beef, that is 1/12 pound of beef per serving... (i)

Part B:

Shrimp used for meal with nothing left over = 1/2 pound

By unitary method again,

Meal for four people has 1/2 pound of shrimp

Therefore meal for each person has 1/(4*2) =1/8 pound of shrimp per serving... (ii)

Part C:

Pasta used, with none left over, is 3 pounds

By unitary method again,

Meal for four people has 3 pounds of Pasta,

Therefore, meal for each person has 3/4 pounds of Pasta, per serving... (iii)

Part D:

Evan got his 3/4th of a pound share of pasta,

He ate half, that is 1/2 of 3/4th of a pound = 3/8th of a pound of pasta... (iv)


All these answers is obtained by division of fractions and unitary method.

Answer 2

Answer:

Part A:

By unitary method,

Beef used = 1/3 pound, and none is left over

Meal for four people has 1/3 pound of beef

Therefore, meal for each person has 1/(4*3) pound of beef, that is 1/12 pound of beef per serving... (i)

Part B:

Shrimp used for meal with nothing left over = 1/2 pound

By unitary method again,

Meal for four people has 1/2 pound of shrimp

Therefore meal for each person has 1/(4*2) =1/8 pound of shrimp per serving... (ii)

Part C:

Pasta used, with none left over, is 3 pounds

By unitary method again,

Meal for four people has 3 pounds of Pasta,

Therefore, meal for each person has 3/4 pounds of Pasta, per serving... (iii)

Part D:

Evan got his 3/4th of a pound share of pasta,

He ate half, that is 1/2 of 3/4th of a pound = 3/8th of a pound of pasta
