1. Kyle had 5/7 lb. of birdseed. Each bird feeder holds 1/5 lb. of seed. Can kyle fill 5 bird feeders?

2. The price of a bowling ticket on tuesday night is half the normal price of $2.75. How much will 4 tickets cost on tuesday night?

3. Will 5 divide by 2/7 have a whole number answer? Explain?

4. Gerald wants to buy paint for his room. Each can if paint us on sale for third off the normal price of $12.00. What is the sale price of a can of paint?

1. 1/5 X5= 1lb AND HE HAS 5/7 SO NO.

2. 2.75 /2=1.375 X 4=$5.50

1. 5 / 7 x 5 / 1 = ?

2. (2.75 / 2) x 4 = ?

1. no

2.
4(3.75)/2 =

3. no

4.
(2/3) * 12 = ?

3. 5/ 2/7 = 5/1 X 7/2= 35/2 =17.5 NO

4. 1/3 of 12=$4.00

Ms. Sue you made a typo. #2 should be 4(2.75) not 3.75

1. To determine if Kyle can fill 5 bird feeders with 5/7 lb. of birdseed, we need to compare the weight of the birdseed with the capacity of the bird feeders.

The bird feeders hold 1/5 lb. of seed each, so we need to find out how many times 1/5 lb. goes into 5/7 lb.

To do this, we can divide 5/7 lb. by 1/5 lb.:

(5/7) / (1/5) = (5/7) * (5/1) = 25/7

The result, 25/7, means that Kyle has enough birdseed to fill 25 bird feeders (each requiring 1/5 lb.)

Since he only has 5 bird feeders, he has more than enough seed to fill them. Therefore, yes, Kyle can fill 5 bird feeders.

2. On Tuesday night, the price of a bowling ticket is half the normal price of $2.75.

To find the price of one ticket, we divide $2.75 by 2:

$2.75 / 2 = $1.375

So, one ticket on Tuesday night costs $1.375.

To find the cost for 4 tickets, we multiply the cost of one ticket by 4:

$1.375 * 4 = $5.50

Therefore, 4 tickets on Tuesday night will cost $5.50.

3. To determine if 5 divided by 2/7 will have a whole number answer, we need to perform the division.

When dividing a whole number by a fraction, we multiply the whole number by the reciprocal of the fraction.

So, we have 5 รท (2/7) = 5 * (7/2) = 5 * 7/2 = 35/2

The result, 35/2, is a fractional answer. Therefore, 5 divided by 2/7 does not have a whole number answer.

4. Each can of paint is on sale for one-third off the normal price of $12.00.

To find the sale price, we need to subtract the discount from the original price.

One-third off of $12.00 is calculated as:

(1/3) * $12.00 = $4.00

So, the discount amount is $4.00.

To find the sale price, we subtract the discount from the original price:

$12.00 - $4.00 = $8.00

Therefore, the sale price of a can of paint is $8.00.
