Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
2 1/2 = 2.5
12 1/2 = 12.5
This means you can calculate how may times it goes in by dividing it and rounding the number down:
12.5 / 2.5 = 5
*5 can not be rounded down so it stays the same
This means that 2 1/2 goes into 12 1/2 5 times. Hope this helps! :)
Answer: the maximum number of bundles of comic books that the box can carry is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the maximum number of bundles of comic books that the box can carry.
If comic books are bundled together in groups of 8, then the total number of comic books in x bundles of comic books would be 8x.
A box can hold a maximum of 60 comic books. Therefore, the inequality to find the maximum number of bundles of comic books that the box can carry is
8x ≤ 60
x ≤ 60/8
x ≤ 7.5
9/10 - 5/10
because the denominators are the same you keep it and just subtract the numerators
=4/10
This can be reduced to 2/5
