At her restaurant, Violet opened 285 cans of tomato sauce. She needs to use 4 cans of sauce for one pan of lasagna. How many pans of lasagna could Violet make if she uses all of the cans? Write the answer as a mixed number.

71 1/4 pans of lasagna

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question:.

4 cans of tomato sauce = 1 pan of lasagna

285 cans of tomato sauce = x

Cross Multiply

4x = 285 × 1

x = 285/4

x = 71 1/4 pans of lasagna

Violet could make 71 1/4 pans of lasagna

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
