Please help me with this question.

Answer 1

Answer:

16 - $2\frac{1}{4} + 2\frac{1}{2}$

make all the denominator by 4

so,

$\frac{64}{4} -\frac{9}{4} + \frac{10}{4} \\\\= \frac{65}{4} \\\\= 16\frac{1}{4}$

Answer 2

Number of batches of jam that Jim can make is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Find the remaining quarts of berries left with Jim after saving for eating.

Total quarts of berries = 16

Number of quarts saved to eat = 2 1/2 = 5/2

Remaining quarts = 16 - 5/2 = 32-5/2 = 27/2

Step 2:

Find the number of batches that can be prepared.

Number of quarts required to make a batch of jam = 2 1/4 = 9/4

Quarts that can be used for making jam = 27/2

Number of batches that can be made = Quarts that can be used/Required quarts

⇒ Number of batches = 27/2 ÷ 9/4

                                     = 27/2 × 4/9  (∵ a ÷ b = a × 1/b)

                                     = 3 × 2 = 6
