Question

Workers at Samantha strStrawberry patch picked 3 1/2 dozen strawberries on Monday on Tuesday they pick 4 1/4 times as many how many dozens isStrawberries did they pick on Tuesday

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of dozens of strawberries ordered on Tuesday   is $14\frac{7}{8}$ dozen

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of strawberries picked on Monday = 3 1/2 dozen  

Now, $3\frac{1}{2} = 3 + \frac{1}{2} = 3 + 0.5 = 3.5$

So, the dozen of strawberries picked by workers on Monday  = 3.5 dozen

Now, the amount of strawberries picked on Tuesday

= 4 1/4 times ( Strawberries picked on Monday)

Also,  $4\frac{1}{4} = 4 + \frac{1}{4} = 4 + 0.25 = 4.25$

So, the strawberries picked on Tuesday  = 4.25 x ( 3.5 dozen)

                                                                      =  14.875 dozen

$14.875 = 14 + 0.875 = 14 + \frac{875}{1000} = 14 + \frac{7}{8} = 14\frac{7}{8}$

Hence, the number of dozens of strawberries ordered on Tuesday = $14\frac{7}{8}$
