Question

Tiana uses 1 3/5 oz of detergent for each full load of laundry. How many full loads of laundry can she do with 100 oz of detergent? Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

63 Full loads of laundry

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been told in the question that  1 3/5 oz or 8/5 oz of detergent is used for a full load of laundry.

So,

1 full load of laundry requires 8/5 oz of detergent

Then,

x full loads of laundry require 100 oz of detergent

100 = 8/5x

x = 100 * 5/8

x = 63 Full loads of laundry (to the nearest whole number)
