Q. Eve and Julian are making their own pizzas. Eve's crust weighs 1818 ounces, and Julian's crust weighs 1212 ounces. After Eve adds 44 spoonfuls of tomato sauce to her pizza and Julian adds 88 spoonfuls to his, the two pizzas weigh the same.\newlineWhich equation can you use to find ww, the weight of a spoonful of tomato sauce in ounces?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 18+4w=12w+818 + 4w = 12w + 8\newline(B) 18+4w=12+8w18 + 4w = 12 + 8w\newlineHow much does a spoonful of tomato sauce weigh?\newlineSimplify any fractions.\newline____\_\_\_\_ ounces
  1. Set up equation: Set up the equation to find the weight of a spoonful of tomato sauce ww.\newlineEve's pizza weight after adding sauce = 1818 ounces + 44 spoonfuls of sauce\newlineJulian's pizza weight after adding sauce = 1212 ounces + 88 spoonfuls of sauce\newlineSince the two pizzas weigh the same after adding the sauce, we can set the two expressions equal to each other to find ww.\newline18+4w=12+8w18 + 4w = 12 + 8w
  2. Solve equation: Solve the equation for ww.\newlineSubtract 4w4w from both sides to get all the ww terms on one side:\newline18+4w−4w=12+8w−4w18 + 4w - 4w = 12 + 8w - 4w\newline18=12+4w18 = 12 + 4w\newlineSubtract 1212 from both sides to isolate the ww term:\newline18−12=4w18 - 12 = 4w\newline6=4w6 = 4w\newlineDivide both sides by 44 to solve for ww:\newline4w4w11
  3. Simplify fraction: Simplify the fraction to find the weight of a spoonful of tomato sauce. 64\frac{6}{4} can be simplified to 32\frac{3}{2} or 1.51.5. w=1.5w = 1.5 ounces
