Question:
Vincent bought a 25-pound bag of rice. He cooked 6.25 pounds of the rice. He stored the rest of the rice in
- pound portions. What is the maximum number of
- pound portions he stored?
The maximum number of portion he stored is 5 portion
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Size of Rice = 25 lb
Size of Cooked Rice = 6.25 lb
Portions saved =
lb
Required
Number of portion saved;
First, the size of rice after cooking needs to be calculated;
If 6.25lb of rice was cooked from a total of 25lb;
Then, the size of rice left is
Now that we have the amount left after cooking; we can simply calculate the maximum number of portions;
This is calculated by dividing size of rice left by portions of saved rice;
i.e.
Maximum number of portion = Size of rice left / Portions of saved rice
Maximum number of portion =![\frac{18.75lb}{3\frac{3}{4}lb}](/tpl/images/0664/7146/a28c2.png)
Convert
to mixed fraction
Maximum number of portion =![\frac{18.75lb}{\frac{15}{4}lb}](/tpl/images/0664/7146/9d711.png)
Maximum number of portion =![\frac{18.75}{\frac{15}{4}}](/tpl/images/0664/7146/7fab9.png)
Rewrite expression
Maximum number of portion =![18.75 / \frac{15}{4}](/tpl/images/0664/7146/d976b.png)
Change divide (/) sign to multiplication (*)
Maximum number of portion =![18.75 * \frac{4}{15}](/tpl/images/0664/7146/6f911.png)
Maximum number of portion =![\frac{75}{15}](/tpl/images/0664/7146/cf7cb.png)
Maximum number of portion = 5
Hence, the maximum number of portion he stored is 5 portions
