bags weigh?
oobleck you just made it more annoying
tg barely did anything
So you already know there's going to be 5 1/4 in the fraction because there's one in one and a half so just add 5 1/2 + 5 1/2 / 2
(5 1/2 +{5 1/2 divided by 2)
In other words divide 5 and 1/2 by 2 and add 5 and 1/2 I'm sorry for repeating myself it's just easier for me to understand myself when I put it different ways
To find the weight of 11/2 bags, we need to multiply the weight of 1 bag by 11/2. Here's how you can do it:
1. Start with the weight of 1 bag, which is 5 1/4 pounds.
2. Convert the mixed fraction 11/2 to an improper fraction. Multiply the whole number (11) by the denominator (2) and add the numerator (1). This gives us 23/2.
3. Multiply the weight of 1 bag (5 1/4) by the improper fraction (23/2).
To multiply a mixed fraction by an improper fraction, follow these steps:
1. Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction.
- Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator. In this case, 4 x 2 + 1 = 9.
- The improper fraction is 9/4.
2. Multiply the two fractions together.
- Multiply the numerators (5 x 9) to get 45.
- Multiply the denominators (4 x 2) to get 8.
- The product of the two fractions is 45/8.
Therefore, 11/2 bags weigh 45/8 pounds.
