WRITE AN EQUATION:

Respuesta :

[tex]1 Pasta=\frac{18}{8}+\frac{5}{8}=\frac{23}{8 }[/tex] pounds of flour

We create a proportion:

[tex]1(pastas)=\frac{23}{8 } [/tex]

[tex]X=86[/tex]

[tex]86=\frac{23}{8 }x[/tex]

[tex]86=2.875x[/tex]

[tex]x=29.91[/tex]

Chef will be able to make [tex]29[/tex] Pastas and eat what's left :)
