Answer :
Answer:
[tex]r=f\times m-5b[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Number of boxes of burger meat = [tex]f[/tex]
Number of slices of meat in each box = [tex]m[/tex]
Number of burgers the family eats each week = [tex]b[/tex]
Number of burger meat remaining = [tex]r[/tex]
To write: An equation in terms of [tex]f, m,\ and\ b[/tex] that represents the number of remaining burger meat, [tex]r[/tex], after 5 weeks.
Now, since each box contain 'm' slices.
Therefore, by unitary method, number of slices of meat in 'f' boxes is given as:
[tex]Total\ number\ of\ slices=f\times m[/tex]
Now, each week burger consumption = 'b'
So, 'b' slices of meat are eaten each week. Again by unitary method, the number of slices eaten in 5 weeks is given as:
[tex]\textrm{Number of slices eaten in 5 weeks}=5b[/tex]
Now, Slices remaining = Total number of slices - Number of slices eaten in 5 weeks.
Therefore, [tex]r=f\times m-5b[/tex]
Hence, the equation that represents the number of slices of burger meat remaining in terms of 'f', 'm', and 'b' is given as:
[tex]r=f\times m-5b[/tex]
