What do you think?
I'd say that multiplication applied to rational numbers cannot convert any of them to irrational numbers, so I believe the answer here is YES.
What goes into the bowl . . .
-- granola . . . 9-1/3 pounds
-- nuts . . . . . 9-1/3 pounds
-- raisins. . . . 9-1/3 pounds
How much is in the bowl all together ?
(9-1/3) + (9-1/3) + (9-1/3) = 27-3/3 = <em>28 pounds</em> .
After stirring, mixing, shaking, and resting, how much is
still in the bowl ?
Still 28 pounds. Nothing else went in, and nothing came out.
After a month, nobody has come into the store yet asking to buy
28 pounds of trail mix. So before it spoils or gets soggy, they decide
to split it up into 14 smaller packages, and see if more people will
buy smaller packages.
They make all of the small packages exactly equal.
How much trail mix is in each one ?
(28 pounds) divided by (14 packages) = <em>2 pounds/package</em>
Answer:
400 pencils
Step-by-step explanation:
So he sold 3/5 of them in the morning and 1/4 of the remainder in the evening
1/4 of 2/5 - (the remainder) is 1/10
3/5 is also equal to 6/10
In the morning he sold 6/10 of the pencils and in the evening he sold 1/10
If he sold 200 more in the morning than we do 6/10 - 1/10
And that is 5/10. So 5/10 is how much more he sold in the morning
5/10 = 200
So 10/10 = 400!
I believe the first question is 4 feet / 1 second and the second answer is 16 oz / 1 lb
