In my math book I got a question that said Keith plans on eating 1 1/4 cups of tuna per day for five days.How much tuna does he need?Are four cans enough. He needs 6.25 cans of tuna. Am I correct.

It depends upon the size of each can of tuna.

1.25 * 5 = 6.25 CUPS

To determine how much tuna Keith needs, you first need to find the total amount of tuna he plans to eat for five days.

Given that he plans on eating 1 1/4 cups of tuna per day, you can multiply this amount by 5 (the number of days) to find the total amount of tuna he needs.

To multiply a whole number by a fraction, you can convert the whole number to a fraction by putting it over 1. In this case, 5 can be written as 5/1.

Next, multiply the numerators (top numbers) together to get the new numerator, and multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) together to get the new denominator.

1 1/4 can be converted to an improper fraction as 5/4.

(5/1) * (5/4) = (25/4) cups of tuna

So, Keith needs 25/4 cups of tuna for five days, which can be simplified as 6 1/4 cups of tuna.

Now, to determine whether four cans of tuna are enough, you should check the amount of tuna in each can.
