Remark

You must do this without the use of a calculator. If you give 8498 which is what you get using a calculator, I would guess that you would be marked wrong.

If you can add 48 + 37 in your head, that would be a pretty good estimate.

Those two numbers added together give 85, so the answer to the estimate would be 8500. That's what I would expect to see if I asked the question.

If you can't do that in your head, try 5 + 4 which gives you 9. So you would give 5000 + 4000 as your estimate which is 9000. That also would be acceptable if I gave out the question.

Timothy is filling fish bowls with pebbles at his fish store. He wants to have $\frac{1}{6}$ of a pound of pebbles in each fish

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Each fish bowl to have pebbles of weight equivalent to = $\frac{1}{6}$

Total pounds of pebbles that Timothy can use = $2\frac{1}{3}$

To find:

The greatest value of Total number of fish bowls that Timothy can fill ?

Solution:

First of all, we need to convert mixed fraction into a fractional number and then we also need to see division of two fractions.

Formula:

$1. \ p\dfrac{q}{r} = \dfrac{p\times r+q}{r}\\2. \ \dfrac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}d}=\dfrac{a\times d}{b\times c}$

Now, the given mixed fraction can be converted to fractional number as:

$2\dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{2\times 3+1}{3} = \dfrac{7}{3}$

Now, To find the total number of fish bowls that can be filled, we need to divide the total number of pounds with number of pounds of pebbles in each fish bowl.

So, the answer is:

$\dfrac{\frac{7}{3}}{\frac{1}{6}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{7\times 6}{3\times 1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{42}{3}\\\Rightarrow \bold{14}$
