It takes 2 minutes to put on one table cloth

Step-by-step explanation:

The time for one table cloth will be calculated by dividing the time by total number of table cloths put in that time

Given

Total Time = $4\frac{1}{2}$ minutes

Total number of table cloths = $2\frac{1}{4}$

So the unit rate will be:

$Time\ for\ one\ table\ cloth = \frac{4\frac{1}{2}}{2\frac{1}{4}}\\=\frac{\frac{9}{2}}{\frac{9}{4}}\\=\frac{9}{2} * \frac{4}{9}\\=2\ minutes$

Hence,

It takes 2 minutes to put on one table cloth

Rosa has 4 1/2 pounds of pizza dough. She uses 3/4 of a pound for one pizza. How many pizzas could be made from Rosa's dough?

IrinaK [193]

Amount of pizza dough that Rosa has = 4 1/2 pounds
       = 9/2 pounds
Amount of dough required by Rosa to make 1 pizza = 3/4 pounds
Then
The number of pizza that can be made with 9/2 pounds of dough = 1/(3/4) * (9/2)
   = (4/3) * (9/2)
   = 2 * 3
   = 6
So Rosa can make 6 pizzas with the amount of dough she has. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. Glad to have helped you.
