Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
So you have 12 bags total.
2 are 1/6 so their total weight is 1/3
2 are 1/3 so their total weight is 2/3
3 are 1/2 so their total weight is 3/2
4 are 2/3 so their total weight is 8/3
1 is 5/6 so their total weight is 5/6
Now add all of these up:
1/3 + 2/3 + 3/2 + 8/3 + 5/6 = 36/6 = 6
Then divide by the number of bags to get the average weight: 6/12 = 1/2
Convert the fraction to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
22.83 (the 3 is endless)
It is a good pic, good quality and all that
You're looking for 2/9 of 3/6 which means you are solving 3/6 ÷ 2/9.
When I was in sixth grade, my teacher always said "Dividing fractions, easy as pie. Flip the second and multiply." At the time, I thought I was too old for stuff like that, but now, I'm in ninth grade, and I haven't forgotten it. If you learn one thing, learn fractions, and learn them well because they never leave.
Anyway, 3/6 ÷ 2/9 becomes 3/6 × 9/2. Another thing from my teacher: "Multiplying fractions, no big problem. Top times top over bottom times bottom." So, 3 × 9 = 27 and 6 × 2 = 12. 27/12.
To make that a mixed number, do 27 ÷ 12. 12 goes in 2 times. This is the big number in your mixed number, your coefficient. Then you have 3 left over. (12 × 2 = 24. 27 - 24 = 3.) This is your numerator. And 12 is still your denominator.
Your answer is 2 3/12, which simplifies to 2 1/4.
