4 pencils . 4/9 of an hour = 4/9 of 60 minutes = 4/9 * 60 = 80/3 minutes
x pencils = ? . one hour = 60 minutes

14 * 60 = 80/3 * x /*3
14 * 60 * 3 = 80 * x
80 * x = 2520 /80
x = 2520 / 80
x = 31.5 pencils

The result would be 32 pencils in one hour.

Carl has 3 1/2 cups of blueberries. He is storing them in containers that each hold 2/3 cup. How many containers can he fill? Fi

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

The total number of containers than can be filled = $5\frac{11}{50}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of blueberries Carl has = 3 1/2 cups

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

⇒The amount of blueberries Carl has = 3. 5 cups

Also,the amount of blueberries each container can store = 2/3 cups

Now, $\frac{2}{3} = 0.67$

⇒The amount of blueberries each container can store = 0.67 cups

So, \textrm{Total cpus that can be filled by blueberries} = \frac{\textrm{Toaal amount of blueberries to be stored}}{\textrm{Bluebeeries stored in 1 cup}}

= $\frac{3.5 cup}{0.67 cup} = 5.22$

Now, $5.22 = 5 + 0.22 = 5 + \frac{22}{100} = 5 + \frac{11}{50} = 5 \frac{11}{50}$

Hence, the total number of cups than cen be filled with the blue berries = 5 11/50

⇒ Blueberries can fill 5 full cups and 11/50th of the 6th cup.
