Question

On Saturday, Mark sold 2 7/8 gallons of lemonade.

Answer 1

Answer:

Regan sold $\mathbf{\frac{23}{12}}$ gallons of lemonade

Step-by-step explanation:

Operations with Fractions

Mark sold $2\frac{7}{8}$ gallons of lemonade.

Regan sold $\frac{2}{3}$ as much lemonade as Mark

We can find the portion of lemonade Regan sold by multiplying both fractions. But first, we must convert to improper fraction:

$2\frac{7}{8}=2+\frac{7}{8}=\frac{23}{8}$

Now we multiply:

$\frac{23}{8}\cdot \frac{2}{3}=\frac{46}{24}=\frac{23}{12}$

Regan sold $\mathbf{\frac{23}{12}}$ gallons of lemonade

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Regan sold \mathbf{\frac{23}{12}}1223 gallons of lemonade

Step-by-step explanation:

Operations with Fractions

Mark sold 2\frac{7}{8}287 gallons of lemonade.

Regan sold \frac{2}{3}32 as much lemonade as Mark

We can find the portion of lemonade Regan sold by multiplying both fractions. But first, we must convert to improper fraction:

2\frac{7}{8}=2+\frac{7}{8}=\frac{23}{8}287=2+87=823

Now we multiply:

\frac{23}{8}\cdot \frac{2}{3}=\frac{46}{24}=\frac{23}{12}823⋅32=2446=1223

Regan sold \mathbf{\frac{23}{12}}1223 gallons of lemonade
