6.4 months Because 10% of $1,100 is $110
multiply 110 by 6.4 and you get 704
so 6.4 months
<span>The right answers would be B (7 miles after marker 58)
and C (7 miles before marker 58). The problem doesn't say if the rest area is going to be built 7 miles before milepost 58 or 7 miles after it.</span>
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
