3pounds of potatoes make eight equal size servings of mashed potatoes. how many potatoes are in each serving

There are 0.375 pounds of p[otatoes in each serving of mashed potatoes

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of potatoes used in mashed potatoes= 3 pounds

To make eight equal size servings of mashed potatoes, we need to divide the total amount by 8, we get

The amount of potatoes in each serving=

∴ The amount of potatoes in each serving= 0.375 pounds

Hence, there are 0.375 pounds of potatoes in each serving of mashed potatoes.

problem:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this !
