Asauce recipe uses 4 cans of tomatoes in every 2 1/2 quarts. how many cans of tomatoes are used in each quart of the sauce? enter your answer in the box as a mixed number in simplest form.

1  can of tomatoes are used in each quart

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of tomatoes used in each quarts, we will follow the steps below;

Using proportion to solve, let x be the number of cans needed in each quart

4 cans =  2 quarts

  x       =  1     quart

cross-multiply

2 x = 4

  = 4

cross-multiply

5x = 8

Divide both-side of the edquation by 5

 =  

(On the left-hand side of the equation 5 at the numerator will cancel-out  5 at the denominator while at the right-hand side of the equation 8 will be divided by 5)

x =

x = 1  can

Therefore 1  can of tomatoes are used in each quart

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
