Taylor is looking to make herself a ham and cheese sandwich she uses 1/4 slice of cheese and a 1/2 rolls of ham in her sandwich she is trying to create a new sandwich with more ingredients how much ham she will need if she uses 1 1/4 of cheese

2 1/2 rolls of ham

Step-by-step explanation:

Break down the question. 1/4 is for 1 slice of cheese. So if she is going to use 1 1/4 now. That means that would be equal to 5 slices of cheese. Now look at the ham. It allows you to start with 1/2 rolls of ham. To make it equal to the 5 slices of cheese. You will do add 1/2 together 5 times. Adding 1/2 and 1/2 is 1. So if you do that another two times. Its now 2. Add one more 1/2 now you have 2 1/2.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
