First, set the coordinate points on a graph, and joint them to form a graph
By looking at the graph we can see that:
width : 3
length: 6
Area of a rectangle : Length x width : 6 x 3 = 18
<u>What we know</u>:
- Bird feeder capacity: --> 2 4/5 cups
- Samantha's scoop capacity: --> 7/10 cups
<em>Lets first convert the mixed partial fraction --> improper fraction</em>
<em> --> for easier calculation</em>
<em />
<u>After Conversion:</u>
- Bird feeder capacity: --> 14/5 cups
- Samantha's scoop capacity: --> 7/10 cups
<u>To find how many scoops of birdseed will Samantha put into the feeder we must:</u>
--> divide the total capacity by the scoop's capacity
--> find the number of scoops:
<u>Solve:</u>
Thus the total number of scoops that Samantha will put into the bird feeder is <u>4</u>

<u>Answer: 4</u>
