    the weight of wheat flour Pasha used in the test batch is 3/4 pounds

    Step-by-step explanation:

    According to the given statement:

    Pasha designed a recipe for crackers that are 60% wheat flour by weight

    60% = 60/100 = 0.6 = 6/10

    He made a test batch of the crackers from 1 1/4 total pounds of ingredients.

    First of all change the whole fraction which is 1 1/4 into improper fraction.

    1 1/4 = 5/4

    Now multiply 6/10 with 5/4 to get the weight of wheat flour Pasha used in the test batch.

    = 6/10 * 5/4

    6 and 4 will be cancelled out by table of 2.

    = 3/10 * 5/2

    Now we can cancel out 5 and 10 by the table of 5.

    3/2 * 1/2

    Now multiply both the terms:

    3/4 pounds

    Thus the weight of wheat flour Pasha used in the test batch is 3/4 pounds ...
