Question

a bowl can hold 3 1/3 cups of water. a bowl can hold 2 3/5 timea the amount in the glass. how many cups can a bowl hold?

Answer 1

Since it says ''times'', you have to change the mixed numbers into fractions which will turn the equation into 10/3 x 13/5 which = 130/15. When you turn that into a mixed number, it changes into 8 10/15 or 8 2/3.

ANSWER: 8 2/3
