3\frac{3}{35} pound of strawberry

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

    Pounds of strawberry picked by Lexi =2 \frac{7}{10}

    Pounds of strawberry eaten by Lexi sister = \frac{7}{8}

Unknown:

Pound of strawberry Lexi's sister ate = ?

Solution:

This is a fraction word problem.

  Let pound of strawberry eaten by Lexi's sister = K

We can establish that:

  Pound of strawberry eaten by Lexi sister x K = Pound of strawberry picked by Lexi

Mathematically we have:

         \frac{7}{8} x K = 2 \frac{7}{10}

             K =  \frac{27 x 8}{10 x 7} = \frac{216}{70}

            K = 3\frac{3}{35} pound of strawberry

12345678910 Using the greatest common factor for the terms, how can you write 80 + 32 as a product?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Find the GCF of 80 and 32.  

I'd start by identifying possible integer factors of both 80 and 32:
80:  {1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20, 40, 80}

32:  {1, 2,4, 8, 16, 32}

Working backwards, we see that the first factor that is represented in both lists is 16.  Is 80 evenly divisible by 16?  Yes; the quotient is 5.
                  Is 32 evenly divisible by 16?  Yes; the quotient is 2.

You could writet 80 + 32 as 16(5 + 2).  This is a product equal to 112, just as 80 + 32 = 112.
