Marianne buys 16 bags of
potting soil that comes in
5/8 -pound bags.
A. How many pounds of potting does
Marianne buy? 10
B. If Marianne’s father calls and says he needs 13 pounds of potting soil, will 4 more bags be enough to cover the
extra soil needed?
Is 10 the correct answer for A?
Can someone show me how to solve question "B"?
Yes A is correct
For B just find if 4 bags will give you 3 more pounds since you already have 10.
To do this multiply (5/8) by 4 to see how many pounds it will give you.
(5/8)*4=2.5
Four more bags Will Not cover the extra soil needed.
Hurry guys I think I'm losing ground. why is my closet is it making pirate sounds (just multiply)
The answer is 5.
(5/8)*5=25/8=3.125 lbs
More than enough to cover the additional 3 pounds her father needs.
Yes, A is correct... here's the math for other people
5/8 x 16 = 5/8 x 16/1 = 80/8 = (80/8) (8/8) = 10
Thanks for the advice and my friend you know what to do
literally this is homework for me , thanks lol i got 5/2 for B but i dunno, im in 6th grade..
Ugh that is a hard question lol
