Question

Jay ate 2/3 of a pizza. Dan ate 4 times the amount of jay ate . How much did dan eat

Answer 1

Dan eat
`2(2)/(3)` pizzas

Explanation:

Let

x-----> amount of pizza Jay ate

y-----> amount of pizza Dan ate

we know that

`x=(2)/(3)` ----> equation A

`y=4x` -----> equation B

substitute equation A in the equation B and solve for y

`y=4((2)/(3))=(8)/(3)`

Convert to mixed number

`(8)/(3)=(6)/(3)+(2)/(3)=2(2)/(3)`
