There are 3 3/4 pounds of bricks in a bag. Each brick weighs 5/8 of a pound. How many bricks are in the bag.

Bess [88]

Answer: There are 6 bricks in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert from mixed number to decimal number. To do it, divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator and add the result to the whole number part. Then:

$3\frac{3}{4}\ lb=(3+0.75)\ lb=3.75\ lb$

Convert from fraction to decimal number. To do it you need to divide the numerator by the denominator. Then, you get:

$\frac{5}{8}lb=0.625\ lb$

Let be "x" the number of bricks in the bag<em>.</em>

<em> </em>Based on the information given in the exercise, you can set up the following proportion:

$\frac{1}{0.625}=\frac{x}{3.75}$

Finally, you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. This is:

$(3.75)(\frac{1}{0.625})=x\\\\x=6$

All you need to do is 4,302 divided by 3. You would get 1434 pounds. I did this in my head. You can split it to get 4,200 divided by 3 + 102 divided by 3. You get 1400 + 34 which is 1434.
