Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Mickey went down to the pet store and bought 11 2/3 pounds of bird seed.

Initial number of bird seeds = 11 2/3 pounds

= 35/3 pounds of bird seeds

Step 2

Mickey gave 5/7 of the bird seed to Daisy.

The number of bird seed that Daisy received is calculated as:

5/7 of 11 2/3 pounds of bird seed

= 5/7 × 35/3

= 25/3 pounds of bird seed

= 8 1/3 pounds of bird seed

Hence,Daisy received, 8 1/3 pounds of bird seed.

Step 3

Daisy gave 4/5 of her bird seed to Frank. Frank wanted to know how many pounds of bird seed he received.

The number of pounds of bird seed that Frank received is calculated as:

4/5 of Daisy's bird seed

= 4/5 of 8 1/3 pounds of bird seed

= 4/5 × 25/3 pounds of bird seed

= 20/3 pounds of bird seed

= 6 2/3 pounds of bird seed

Therefore, the number of pounds of bird seed that Frank received is 6 2/3 pounds of bird seed
