Answer:
The possible amounts of vegetables - 2 pounds of carrot and 0 pounds of broccoli, 0 pounds of carrot and 2 pounds of broccoli, 1 pound of carrot and 1 pound of broccoli
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
Ava has already purchased the amount of vegetables given by,
Carrots = 14 pounds
Broccoli = 12 pounds
She needs exactly 2 pounds of the vegetables for the party.
Thus, the possible amount of vegetables she can have is,
Total Pounds Carrots (pounds) Broccoli (pounds)
2 2 0
2 0 2
2 1 1
Answer:
She can add 5/8 pounds of more broccoli and 5/8 pounds of lettuce
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem has errors. The right problem is
Ava needs 2 pounds of vegetables for her party. She already has 1/4 pound of carrots and 1/2 pound of broccoli. Drag weights of vegetables she can add to the vegetables she already has to make exactly 2 pounds.
We know that Ava already as 1/2 pounds of broccoli and 1/4 pounds of carrots, so in total she has
[tex]\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{4+2}{8}=\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4} lb[/tex]
To know how many pounds she needs, we have to find the difference
[tex]2-\frac{3}{4}= \frac{8-3}{4}=\frac{5}{4}lb[/tex]
Therefore, she needs to add 5/4 pounds of another vegetable to make exactly 2 pounds. She can add 5/8 pounds of more broccoli and 5/8 pounds of lettuce
