Basir collected 41/3 baskets of peaches at an orchard. if each basket holds 21 peaches, how many collect peaches did he collect in all?
4 1/3 = 13/3
21 * (13/3) = 91
To find out how many peaches Basir collected in all, we need to multiply the number of baskets he collected by the number of peaches in each basket.
Basir collected 41/3 baskets of peaches. To find the total number of baskets, we need to convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction.
To convert 41/3 to an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number (41) by the denominator (3) and add the numerator (1). So the improper fraction is (41*3 + 1) / 3 = 123/3.
Now, since each basket holds 21 peaches, we can multiply the number of baskets by the number of peaches in each basket:
Total number of peaches = (123/3) * 21
To simplify this calculation, we can divide 123 by 3:
Total number of peaches = 41 * 21
Now we can calculate the product:
Total number of peaches = 861
Therefore, Basir collected 861 peaches in all.
