Elijahlouis, I will not sure how I am going on with my friends. we will need the following
Y= 2/3x + 10 (or 11?) is the equation
Answer: 73.1 pounds of sand.
Step-by-step explanation: 48.5 Pounds (Big Bag) + 24.6 (Small Bag)
48.5+24.6 is equal to 73.1 pounds of sand. That is how much sand was purchased altogether.
Since 1/6 of the day was spent in the flower bed and 2/3 of that was spreading mulch, we need to find 2/3 of 1/6 to find out how much of the day was spreading the mulch.
In math "of" means times
"is" means equals
2/3 of 1/6 is
translates to
2/3 x 1/6 =
Now we just multiply the numerators across and denominators across then reduce if possible...
2/3 x 1/6 = 2/18
2 and 18 both divide by 2 so it reduces
2/18 = 1/9
Tom spent 1/9 of the day spreading mulch.
