A bag of oranges weighs 5 1/4 pounds. How much does 1 1/2 bags weigh?

Ok, so this is what I did : made each into improper fraction liket his. 23/4 x 3/2 = 69/8.

Now, I divide 69/8 and I come up with 62 5/8

right ?

Does your answer make sense to you?

5 1/4 = 21/4

(21/4) * (3/2) = 63/8 = 7 7/8 pounds

Oh no I times it wrong ! No doesn't make sense what I did. Thank you! Getting tired I gues. Thank you.

GIVE US THE WRITEN STEP BY STEP!!!

to be honest the person who posted this is not the brightest in math but when you make the mixed fractions into improper fractions 5 1/4 will be turned into 21/4 while 1 1/2 will be tranformed into 3/2 then you multiply giving you the answer 63/8 if you need to simplify then 63 divided by 8 your final answer should be 7 7/8

wow this was made is 2013 im old

9 years i was only 2

she didnt die stupid people are just saying that because they want people to feel sad

really

IT'S BEEn ALMOST 9 YEARS AND NO ONE HAS THE ANSWER

wow this was a year ago

Yeah

bro same

Wow 9 years ago I was like 3

Wow thanks you guys. You all just made me feel old.

bozo

how did she die!!!!?????

There isn't a specific answer it's where you have to explain it but this is how I explained it.

after converting 5 1/4 and 1 1/2 into improper fractions you get 21/4 and 3/2 next you multiply both of those and get 63/8 and to simplify it divide 63 by 8 and get 7 and 7/8

*7 7/8 not 7 and 7/8*

Welp it looks like i was wrong i hope this is right for oregon <:\
