To multiply a whole number by a fraction less than one, you have to rewrite the whole number in the expression as a fraction by putting a one under it.
For example, in 10 x 2/5, you would rewrite the 10 to 10/1 x 2/5.
Then, you would multiply the top and bottom of the two fractions. In this case, it would be 10 x 2 and 1x5. This would result in 20/5.
Finally, you would simplify this fraction by dividing. The final answer is 4.

Answer:

10 × 2/5 = 20/5 = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are multiplying a whole (big) number times a fraction, you multiply the whole (big) number times the TOP number (numerator) and put that on top. Keep the bottom number (denominator) the same.

10 × (2/5)

= (10×2) / 5

= 20/5

= 4

Bumek [7]

Answer:

It's heavy cream

Step-by-step explanation:

Homogenized milk has a density of 1.032 kg/L and

heavy cream has a density of 1.005 kg/L at 10°C.

At 10°C, a container holding 8 liters of liquid weighs 8.04 kilograms

To determine which container hold homogenized milk or heavy cream and How I know?

We findo the density of the measurements given and whatever it correspond to is what it is

First mass is 8.04kg

Liquid contained is 8 litres

SInce the density is kg/L

No need for conversion

Density = mass/volume = 8.04/8= 1.005kg/L

Heavy cream has a density of 1.005 kg/L at 10°C.

Therefore it correspond
