Question

Stacy placed an order for 4 2/5 sacks of brown lentils and 1 sack of green lentils. How much more brown lentils did Stacy order?

Answer 1

Stacy ordered $3\frac{2}{5}$ more sacks of brown lentils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Sack of brown lentils ordered = $4\frac{2}{5}=\frac{22}{5}$

Sack of green lentils ordered = 1

Difference = Sacks of brown lentils - Sacks of green lentils

Difference = $\frac{22}{5}-1$

Difference = $\frac{22-5}{5}$

Difference = $\frac{17}{5} = 3\frac{2}{5}$

Stacy ordered $3\frac{2}{5}$ more sacks of brown lentils.
