I don’t know which play you are talking about, but A sounds more like a theme than the rest. B is definitely not correct, I wish I had the play to read to give you a definite answer. But to find the theme of the play, just ask yourself which one of these options sound most like the play. Is the play about people making mistakes or is about people needing to change with the times?
Answer:
9.4 pounds of fruit
Explanation:
When dealing with a mixed number, such as 8 and 2/5, in this example, it is important to know how to convert it into a decimal number.
We have 8 wholes and two fifths, so 8 will be the integer of the decimal number.
Now for two fifths (2/5), you can think of it as having five parts of something (let's say five pieces of cake) and taking two of them.
Converted to decimal number, that would be 2 divided by five which is 0.4. So:
8 and 2/5 = 8.4
Now, as for the total amount of fruit, we simply add up all sorts of fruit used for the salad.
We have 1 pound of melon and 8.4 pounds of berries, which is in total:
1 + 8.4 = 9.4 pounds of fruit.
