You need 112 K-cups for a party. A box of K-cups costs $16 for 36 K-cups. What is the minimum amount of money you will spend?

$49.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation setup I used for this was as follows: $16 x (112/36)

Using PEMDAS, you'd start with the division part, 112/36. Although, I did this a bit differently, and being a bit further in school, I don't know if you go through this where you're at.

Start by factoring 112 into 4(28). This leaves you with 4(28)/36.

Next, cancel 4 out of 36. Since 4 is the common factor in 28 and 36, you cancel the four out of the equation, leaving you with 28/9. Convert this to its decimal form, 3.1.

Finally, take the 3.1 and multiply that by $16, which comes out to $49.60.

step-by-step explanation:

she will sew have sewn five dresses   and be 1/3 done with the sixth one in an hour.

step-by-step explanation:

3/4 of an hour=45 mins

lucy makes 1 dress per 11.25 minutes

45 mins+11.25 mins=56.25 mins

60 mins- 56.25 mins=3.75 mins

3.75 mins is 1/3 of of 11.25 mins

therefore she the other 1/3 would be part of the hour and she will have sewn 5 dresses and begun the sixth.
