Answer:

7/30

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Seven-ninths (7/9) of the pencils in a box are yellow and three-tenths (3/10) of the yellow pencils are sharpened.

To find the fraction that represents sharpened yellow pencils, we find the product of the the fraction of yellow pencils and the fraction of yellow pencils that are sharpened.

That is:

=> (7 / 9) * (3 / 10)

=(7 * 3) / (9 * 10)

= 21 / 90

= 7 / 30

7/30 represents the fraction of sharpened yellow pencils.

Keisha bought 1.2 pounds of Swiss cheese that was selling for $5.95 per pound.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Keisha paid $7.0805

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, you already know that 1 pound equals $5.95. Secondly, you have to solve 5.95 divided by 10, which is 0.595. However, the question is asking for 0.2 pounds! Therefore, 0.595 * 2 = 1.19.

But we're not done yet! We still have to find the amount of money in all. 5.95 * 1.19 = 7.0805 The sum of money in all is $7.0805

Hope this helps!
