Tim picked 1 7/12 buckets of apples, and Fred picked 4 2/3 buckets of apples. How many more buckets did Fred pick?

1 answer:

3 0

The answer is 2 buckets

Explain:
Tim picked 1 7/12 and Fred picked 4 2/3
These as improper fractions are 19/12
And 8/3
To make these have the same denominator you would times the 8/3 by 4 to give 32/12
Take these two away, Fred has 13 more apples.
And as we calculated it with there being 12 in each bucket there would be one full bucket but we would need another bucket for the apple left
So Fred picked 2 more buckets than Tim.
Hoped it makes sense and that I helped

Answer:

When the solution is negative

Step-by-step explanation:

One example, let's say you are buying pens and each pen cost 3 dollars and you cannot spend more than 15 dollars, how many pens can you buy?

The inequality would be 3x < 15, so any negative solution is not reasonable because you cannot buy negative pens. The same goes for most real-world problems dealing with time, money, or distance.
