Tia mixes mashed pumpkin with several other ingredients to make homemade treats for her dog. She uses 3/4 cup of pumpkin to make 1 1/4 pounds of treats. How many mashed pumpkin does Tia use to make 1 pound of treats?

Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a comparison method!!

3/4 : 1 1/4 = x : 1

3/4 : 5/4 = x : 1

3/4 × 1 = x × 5/4

3/4 = 5x/4

x = 3/4 ÷ 5/4

x = 3/4 × 4/5

x = 3/5

Tia used 3/5 cup of pumpkin to make 1 pound of treats
