chris has 3 1/2 boxes of tomatoes at his restaurant he uses 1 3/4 boxes to make tomato sauce for tonight's dinner. How many boxes of tomatoes does chris have left over?

1 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

3 1/2 boxes of tomatoes currently. uses 1 3/4, taking it away basically.

3 1/2 - 1 3/4

3 2/4 - 1 3/4 ;; i did this with finding a common denominator for it to be easier for me to solve.

3 - 1 = 2

2/4 - 3/4 = -1/4

2 + -1/4 = 1 3/4

correct me if wrong.

1 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

i think the answer is 90 hope this

8.75

how-to:

first, we need to find what we have to work with.

since i know that we have 7 (years) and 0.8 (inches), we can use these to solve and find the equation!

secondly, what you want to do, is see that we need to know how much growth out of the 0.8 inches he got in only 1 year, instead of 7 years.

let's try to divide.

7 ÷ 0.8 = 8.75
