Acream is sold in a 38-gram container. he average amount of cream used per application is 3 4/5 grams. how many applications can be made with the container?

Hey!

Since each application uses 3 4/5 grams of cream and it's sold in a 38-gram container, you have to divide 38 by 3 4/5

Change both to improper fraction

Keep 38/1

Change ÷ to ×

Flip 19/5 = 5/19

That gives you:

Answer

Detailed Explanation

We are going to divide in this problem to determine the amount of applications that can be made with the container.

Since, we are dividing we would need to reciprocate the divisor and multiply.

We have so we would need to divide in order to determine the amount of applications that can be made with the container.

Solve.

Our answer would be

ad = ae + ed = y + 7

similar triangles therefor

ac/ab = ad/ae

6/4 = (y + 7) / y

cross multiply

6y = 4(y + 7)

6y = 4y + 28

2y = 28

y = 14
