A bag of peanuts weighs 1/4 pound. How much do 1 1/2 bags weigh
Please explain too! Thank you!
1 / 4 = 025
1 1/2 = 1.5
0.25 * 1 .5 = 0.375 = 3 / 8
OR
1 1 / 2 = 1 + 1 / 2 = 2 / 2 + 1 / 2 = 3 / 2
1 / 4 * 3 / 2 = 1 * 3 / 4 * 2 = 3 / 8
multiply the weight of one bag, by the number of bags
1/4 * 1 1/2 = 1/4 * 3/2 = ?
Equals 1 1/8?
Please hurry

To find out how much 1 1/2 bags of peanuts weigh, we first need to calculate the weight of one bag. We know that a bag weighs 1/4 pound.
Next, we need to find the weight of 1 1/2 bags. To do this, we can multiply the weight of one bag by the number of bags.
1/4 pound * 1 1/2 bags = (1/4) * (3/2) = 3/8 pound.
Therefore, 1 1/2 bags of peanuts weigh 3/8 pound.
