La has 10 baskets of gear. Each basket has 1 1/2 lb of gear. What is the total weight of all the gear in the baskets? Convert the answer into a mixed number
There are 10 baskets of gear. Each basket has 1 1/2 lbs of gear.
To find the total weight, we can multiply the weight of one basket by the number of baskets:
1 1/2 lbs/basket * 10 baskets = 15 lbs
So the total weight of all the gear in the baskets is 15 lbs.
This can be written as a mixed number by dividing the total weight by the weight of one basket:
15 lbs ÷ 1 1/2 lbs/basket = 10
So the total weight of all the gear in the baskets is 10 pounds.
