Answer:
The number of pounds of bird seed that Frank received is 6 2/3 or 20/3 pounds of bird seed.
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
