Question

1 a box of granola weighs 24 ounces. a box of bran flakes weighs \\(\frac{3}{4}\\) as much as the granola. a box of corn pops weighs \\(1\frac{1}{6}\\) as much as the granola. what is the least number of ounces found in either box of granola, bran flakes, or corn pops? type the amount, in ounces, in the response box: ounces 2 jeff has practice 3 times this week. each practice is \\(\frac{5}{7}\\) hour long. how long did jeff practice during the week? a \\(1\frac{1}{5}\\) hours b \\(2\frac{1}{7}\\) hours c \\(3\frac{5}{7}\\) hours d \\(5\frac{1}{7}\\) hours 3 every month, mrs. falco spends the money from her paycheck the same way. she uses \\(\frac{3}{4}\\) of the money to pay bills. she puts the remaining amount into 2 accounts for college tuition for her children, tyler and jarrad. each child’s account receives the same amount. which statement is true? a mrs. falco puts \\(\frac{3}{4}\\) of the money from her paycheck into jarrad’s college account. b mrs. falco puts \\(\frac{1}{4}\\) of the money from her paycheck into jarrad’s college account. c mrs. falco puts \\(\frac{1}{8}\\) of the money from her paycheck into tyler’s college account. d mrs. falco puts \\(\frac{1}{2}\\) of the money from her paycheck into tyler’s college account.

Explanation:

Question 1

Step1: Calculate weight of bran flakes

Bran flakes weight = $\frac{3}{4} \times 24$ = 18 ounces.

Step2: Calculate weight of corn pops

Corn pops weight = $1\frac{1}{6} \times 24$ = $\frac{7}{6} \times 24$ = 28 ounces.

Step3: Compare weights

Granola: 24 oz, Bran flakes: 18 oz, Corn pops: 28 oz. The least is 18.

Step1: Total practice time = number of practices × time per practice

Total time = $3 \times \frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{9}{4}$ = $2\frac{1}{4}$ hours.

Step1: Remaining money after bills

Remaining = $1 - \frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$.

Step2: Split remaining into 2 accounts

Each account gets $\frac{1}{4} \div 2$ = $\frac{1}{8}$. So each child's account (Tyler and Jarrad) gets $\frac{1}{8}$, same amount.

Answer:

18
