explain as much as you can
To find out how much 1 1/2 bags weigh, we first need to determine the weight of one whole bag of peanuts.
Given that one bag of peanuts weighs 1/4 pound:
1 bag of peanuts = 1/4 pound
To find the weight of 1 1/2 bags, we can multiply the weight of one bag by 1 1/2:
1 1/2 bags of peanuts = (1/4 pound) x (3/2)
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators (the top numbers) together to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators (the bottom numbers) together to get the new denominator:
1 1/2 bags of peanuts = (1/4) x (3/2) = (1 x 3) / (4 x 2) = 3/8
Therefore, 1 1/2 bags of peanuts weigh 3/8 pound.
Multiply
(1/4)(3/2) = _______
