Question

Laya has 8(3/4) packing peanuts. Each whole bag of packing peanuts weights 7(4/5) pounds. What Is the total weight of the paking peanuts.

Answer 1

Answer:

68 1/4 or 68.25

Step-by-step explanation:

You could simply state that 8 3/4 times 7 4/5 is equivalent to

35/4 *39/5 and multiply

1365/20= 68.25

You could go with another version.

7x8=56

7x 3/4=5 1/4

8x4/5=6 2/5

4/5x3/4=3/5

56+ 5 1/4 + 6 2/5 + 3/5 =

56 + 5 5/20 + 6 8/20 + 12/20 =

67 25/20 = 68 5/20 = 68 1/4

Answer 2

$8 ( \frac{3}{4} ) \times 7( \frac{4}{5} ) = 33.6$
