Make sure your answer is in simplest form and improper fractions are expressed as mixed numbers.
A baker used packages of raisins when he was making muffins.
Each package contained pounds of raisins.
How many pounds of raisins did the baker use?
baker used 4 2/3.each packages is 5 1/4
If I understand your abbreviated question,
the baker used 4 2/3 packages of raisins
each package contained 5 1/4 pounds
4 2/3 = 14/3
5 1/4 = 21/4
(14/3) * (21/4) = 294/12 = 24 1/2 pounds
thanks
You're welcome.
To solve this problem, we need to multiply the number of packages of raisins by the pounds of raisins in each package.
Let's say the number of packages of raisins is represented by "x" and the pounds of raisins in each package is represented by "y".
According to the problem, the baker used "x" packages of raisins, and each package contained "y" pounds of raisins.
So, the total pounds of raisins used by the baker can be calculated by multiplying "x" and "y" together.
Total pounds of raisins = x * y
To get the specific values for "x" and "y", we'll need more information from the problem.
