A restaurant chef made 1 7/8 pints of mushroom soup. Each bowl of soup holds 3/8 of a pint. How many bowls of soup will the chef be able to fill?

5 bowls

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of bowls = total pints / capacity of each bowl

17/8 ÷ 3/8

Convert 1 7/8 to improper fraction = 15/8

15/8 x 8/3 = 5 bowls

5x+40

5(x + 8)

7x - 49

7(x - 7)

18x + 9

9(2x + 1)

15x - 10

5(3x - 2)

step-by-step explanation:

for number one all you have to do is factor 5 out of 5x + 40

for number 2 factor 7 out of 7x - 49

for number three factor 9 out of 18x + 9

for number four factor 5 out of 15x - 10
