Question

A package of paper weighs 3\frac{4}{6} ounces. If Edward put 3\frac{1}{2} packages of paper on a scale, how much would they weigh?

Answer 1

Answer:

They would weight $1\frac{1}{21}$ ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of complete package of paper = $3 \frac{4}{6}$ ounces

Weight of complete package of paper =$\frac{22}{6}$ounces

Edward put$3\frac{1}{2}$ packages of paper on a scale

So, Weight of $3\frac{1}{2}$ packages   $= \frac{\frac{22}{6}}{3\frac{1}{2}}$

Weight of $3\frac{1}{2}$ packages $= \frac{\frac{22}{6}}{\frac{7}{2}}$

Weight of $3\frac{1}{2}$ packages =$\frac{22}{21}=1\frac{1}{21}$

Hence They would weight $1\frac{1}{21}$ ounces
