aling marciana bought 5 ⅔ kilogram of pork for mang buenvenido’s birthday. she separated 2 ½ kilograms for adobo then she equally divided the rest for sinigang and pork chop. how many kilograms does she cook in sinigang?
Answer:
Its 2 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
5×2/3-2×1/2
its reduce calculate
=10/3 -1
=7/3
then you need to lowest tge term and that would be
2 1/3
Answer:
1 7/12 kg of pork
Step-by-step explanation:
5 2/3 is being subtracted to 2 1/2 because aling marcia separated it for adobo and divided equally the remaining to pork chop and sinigang. So the question is the pork used in sinigang the answer on 5 2/3 subtracted to 2 1/2 will be divided to 2. Then you will get the answer. The following are the solutions:
Choose any of the solutions
Solution 1
5 2/3 – 2 1/2
make it similar fraction
= 5 4/6 – 2 3/6
divide the answer by 2 since it is equally divided
= 3 1/6 ÷ 2
= 3÷2 + 1/6 ÷ 2/1
since it is dividing a fraction invert 2 thus it become 1/2 then change division to multiplication
= 3/2 + 1/6 x 1/2
then multiply
= 3/2 + 1/12
make it similar fraction to preform operation
= 18/12 + 1/12
then add change improper fraction to mixed number
= 19/12 or 1 7/12
Solution 2
change mixed number into improper thus 5 2/3 become 17/3 and 2 1/2 became 5/2.
17/3 – 5/2
make it similar fraction
= 34/6 – 15/6
then subtract
divide it by 2 since it is divided into 2 (which sinigang and pork chop)
= 19/6 ÷ 2
since it is dividing a fraction invert 2 thus it become 1/2 then change division to multiplication
= 19/6 x 1/2
then multiply
change improper fraction to mixed number
= 19/12 or 1 7/12
