Cells an average of 15 3/5 bushels of corn each day. what integer represents the change in the bushels of corn in his inventory after six days?
6*15 3/5=90 18/5=93 3/5
he did not have 94. So 93 is the integer change.
I am reminded when one counts puppies: 5 6/8.
Yep, he did not have six puppies.
93
Thanks
To find the change in the bushels of corn in his inventory after six days, we need to multiply the number of days by the average number of bushels of corn sold per day.
The average number of bushels of corn sold per day is given as 15 3/5.
To convert the mixed fraction 15 3/5 to an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number (15) by the denominator (5) and add the numerator (3). This gives us (15 * 5) + 3 = 75 + 3 = 78.
So, the average number of bushels of corn sold per day is 78/5.
To find the change in the bushels of corn in his inventory after six days, we multiply the average number of bushels sold per day (78/5) by the number of days (6):
(78/5) * 6 = (78 * 6)/5 = 468/5
Since the question asks for the change in the inventory as an integer, we need to divide the numerator by the denominator and take the floor value. Therefore, the change in the bushels of corn in his inventory after six days is:
468 ÷ 5 = 93
So, the integer representing the change in the bushels of corn in his inventory after six days is 93.
To find the change in the bushels of corn in the inventory after six days, we need to multiply the average daily yield by the number of days.
The average daily yield is 15 3/5 bushels, which can also be expressed as the mixed number 15 + 3/5. We can convert this mixed number to an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number (15) by the denominator (5) and adding the numerator (3). So, 15 + 3/5 becomes (15 * 5 + 3)/5, which is equal to 78/5.
Now, we can calculate the change in the bushels of corn after six days by multiplying the average daily yield (78/5) by six: (78/5) * 6.
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. So, (78/5) * 6 = (78 * 6)/(5 * 1) = 468/5.
Therefore, the change in the bushels of corn in the inventory after six days is represented by the fraction 468/5. To simplify this fraction, we can divide the numerator (468) by the denominator (5):
468 ÷ 5 = 93 remainder 3.
So, the simplified fraction is 93 3/5. The integer part of this mixed number (93) represents the change in the bushels of corn in the inventory after six days.
