Arecipe calls for 1 1/2 gallons of chopped onions. how many pounds of onions should you use if one cup of chopped onions weigh 6.5 ounces?

15 pounds of onions are needed in the recipe.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total gallon of chopped onion needed for the recipe  = 1  1/2 gallons

Solving the mixed fraction, we get

So, the chopped onion needed = 1.5 gallons

Also, 1 gallon =  160 ounces

So, 1.5 gallon = 1.5 x (160) ounces  = 240 ounces

⇒ 1.5 gallon = 240 ounces

Now, 1 ounce  = 0.0625 pounds

⇒ 240 ounces  =   240 x 0.0625 pounds = 15 pounds

Hence, 15 pounds of onions are needed in the recipe.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
