Keith is making a tomato soup recipe that requires 4/5 of a pound of tomatoes but he only has 3/4 of a pound of tomatoes. What fraction of the recipe can Keith make with the amount of tomatoes he has? (I'm lazy...someone help me out?)

15/16 tomato soup

Step-by-step explanation:

his problem can be solved using the principle of proportionality or rule three.

A tomato soup recipe that requires 4/5 of a pound of tomatoes, which means that one unit of tomato soup is produced.

So how many units is produced with the amount of 3/4 of a pound of tomato.

Pound Tomato       Tomato soup 

  4/5                                 1

  3/4                                 x

then x equals:

x = (3/4*1)/(4/5)

x = 0.9375

x =  15/16  tomato soup

Which means that they are that amount of tomato produces 15/16 tomato soup.

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
