Arthur has 20/8 cups of dishwashing detergent. He uses 1/4 cup of detergent for each load of dishes. what is the greatest number of loads of dishes Arthur was with this amount of detergent

Respuesta :

Total = 20/8 cups of dishwashing detergent.

he has 20/8 = 5/2 = 2 1/2 cups of dishwashing detergent, per load he uses 1/4

per load

2 1/2 - 1/4

_____________________

The general formula

x= number of loads

20/8 - x* 1/4= 0

20/ 8 = x 1/4

x 1/4 = 20/ 8

x= 4* (20/8 )

x= 10

The greatest number of loads of dishes Arthur was with this amount of detergent​ is 10
