A) 6 3/8 ounces
B) 4 2/8 ounces
C) 10 5/8 ounces
D) 17 5/8 ounces

Explain how you know.

9514 1404 393

  B)  4 2/8 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

After 5/8 of the dough was used for pizza, the remaining amount is ...

  1 -5/8 = 3/8

The difference between the amounts is then ...

  (5/8×17 oz) - (3/8×17 oz) = (5/8 -3/8)×17 oz = 2/8×17 oz = 34/8 oz

  = 4 2/8 oz

she will sew have sewn five dresses   and be 1/3 done with the sixth one in an hour.

step-by-step explanation:

3/4 of an hour=45 mins

lucy makes 1 dress per 11.25 minutes

45 mins+11.25 mins=56.25 mins

60 mins- 56.25 mins=3.75 mins

3.75 mins is 1/3 of of 11.25 mins

therefore she the other 1/3 would be part of the hour and she will have sewn 5 dresses and begun the sixth.
