Step-by-step explanation:
14 because u are adding both factor and u are adding
(a) 0.50 per pound, you do 6 divided by 12
(b) 9.17 pounds per field, you do 55 divided by 6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: 25 percent means one fourth. To calculate 25 percent of a number, simply divide it by 4. For example, 25 percent of 12 is 12 divided by 4, or 3. 10 percent means one tenth.
When you read this, you immediately get this feeling that the answer is
(1 and 3/4) times (5) . The only problem is that it's kind of messy to
try and do the multiplication with (1 and 3/4) in that form, so it's a lot
easier if you change it to a different form ... you don't change the value
of the number, you just write it differently.
In place of (1 and 3/4), you could use 1.75 , or you could use 7/4 .
They're both exactly the same amount as (1 and 3/4), but they look
different, and they're easier to work with.
Since the problem wants the answer as a fraction or mixed number,
let's use 7/4 in place of (1 and 3/4).
OK. Five bags were used on Thursday, and (7/4) of that many were used
on Friday.
(7/4) x (5 bags) = <u>35/4</u> bags . . . . . That's the improper fraction.
The mixed number is (<u>8 and 3/4</u>) bags.
