Colton is making a large batch of clay for his art class. his recipe for clay requires 7 1/2 cups of flour. however, colton only has 5 5/8 cups of the flour, so he can only make a portion of the recipe. create an equation to model the situation and solve it to determine what portion of his recipe colton can make. =

5 5/8 of 7 1/2 is 3/4 so you would make 3/4 of the recipe.

In order for them to work the same amount of time, you would have to make Lucas work for five hours (so he could have the same minimum time as Jonathan). So multiply Lucas's 30 minutes by five, and that equals a total of 2 hours and 30 minutes. So when Jonathan works for five hours he plays for three hours, but when Lucas works for 5 hours he only plays for 2 hours and 30 minutes. So Jonathan spends more time playing video games.
