Answer: 1 and 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Imagine 3 1/3 as if it’s in parenthesis as (3 + 1/3)
Subtract three from five.
You should get two.
Then you subtract the last 1/3 from that two.
There are three thirds in one digit.
Therefore, two thirds are left over, plus that last whole digit.
You are left with one and one third.
The answer is 17 because 42+4 is 46 and 46 minus 29 is 17
Given:
grapes = 2 1/2 pounds
apples = 1 1/4 times as many pounds as grapes.
For easier computation, let us convert these fractions into numbers with decimal places.
2 1/2 pounds = 2.50 pounds
1 1/4 times = 1.25
Apples = 2.50 pounds * 1.25 = 3.125 pounds of apples.
Or we still use fractions. We need to convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions.
2 1/2 = 5/2
1 1/4 = 5/4
5/2 * 5/4 = 5*5 / 2*4 = 25/8 is simplified to 3 1/8 pounds
