At 9: 00, paula has x cups of food in a container for her dog. paula pours a 2 1/2 cup box of fodd into the container. then she removes 3/4 cup of food to feed her dog. now there are 5 1/4 cups of food in the container.
write an equation that can be used to determine the number of cups, x , of food in the container at 9: 00.

X = 21/4 - 7/4 = 14/4 = 7/2 = 3 and 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

X + (2 and 1/2) - 3/4 = 5 and 1/4

X + 2 and 2/4  - 3/4 = 5 and 1/4  <--- common denominator

X + 10/4 - 3/4 = 21/4

X + 7/4 = 21/4

X = 21/4 - 7/4 = 14/4 = 7/2 = 3 and 1/2

step-by-step explanation:X = 21/4 - 7/4 = 14/4 = 7/2 = 3 and 1/2

X + (2 and 1/2) - 3/4 = 5 and 1/4

X + 2 and 2/4  - 3/4 = 5 and 1/4  <--- common denominator

X + 10/4 - 3/4 = 21/4

X + 7/4 = 21/4

X = 21/4 - 7/4 = 14/4 = 7/2 = 3 and 1/2
