We need a least common denominator
19 1/8 and 2 1/4 (also = to 2 2/8)
19 1/8-2 2/8= 16 7/8
16 7/8 divided by 5
ANSWER: 3 3/8 in
If we have 2+1/4 for a batch and want 2/3rds of that, we multiply (2+1/4) by 1/3 to get 2/3+1/12 (we can just multiply the denominator by 3 to divide by 1/3) = 8/12+1/12=9/12=3/4 ( we get 8/12 by figuring out that 12/3 =4 so we multiply 2/3 by 4/4). Since we need 2/3rds, we then multiply 3/4 by 2 to get 6/3 or 3/2.
Answer:
4.3 kilograms
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 = 3.225kg
3/4 = 0.75
75% of a box of apples = 3.225kg
100% of a box is 3.225 / 0.75 which is 4.3kg
