Question

A bag of rice contains 17 1/2 cups of rice. Ken's children eat 2 1/2 cups of rice each day.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "7".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given values:

$\ bag \ of \ rice= 17\frac{1}{2} \\\\\ eating \ rice \ by \ ken \ per \ day = 2\frac{1}{2}\\\\\ rice = \frac{35}{2}\\\\ \ eat \ by \ day = \frac{5}{2}\\\\\ total \ days = \frac{\ bag \ value}{ \ eat \ by \ day}\\\\\ total \ days = \frac{\frac{35}{2}}{\frac{5}{2}}\\\\\ total \ days = \frac{35}{2} \times \frac{2}{5}\\\\\ total \ days = 7$
