Suppose Ellie starts making a lamb stew using a 6.5-quart pot. She decides to make a bigger stew. She pours everything into a pot that is 40 percent bigger. How big is the bigger pot?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The bigger pot is a 9.1-quart pot

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial pot size = 6.5-quart

New pot is 40% bigger than the initial pot size

Bigger pot size = 6.5-quart + (0.4 × 6.5-quart) = 6.5-quart + 2.6-quart = 9.1-quart
