A farmer has 240 bushels of beans for sale at a farmer's market. He sells an average of 14 7/8
bushels each day. After days, what is the change in the total number of bushels the farmer has for sale at the farmer's market?
To find the total number of bushels sold after d days, we multiply the number of bushels sold per day by the number of days: (14 7/8) * d = (8*14+7)/8 * d = (112+7)/8 * d = 119/8 * d.
The change in the total number of bushels the farmer has for sale at the farmer's market is 240 - (119/8) * d.
To calculate the change in the total number of bushels the farmer has for sale, you need to subtract the amount of beans sold from the initial amount of beans.
The farmer sells an average of 14 7/8 bushels each day.
To simplify this, we can convert the mixed fraction 14 7/8 into an improper fraction.
14 7/8 = (14 * 8 + 7) / 8 = 119/8
So, the farmer sells 119/8 bushels each day.
If the farmer sells an average of 119/8 bushels each day for d days, the total amount of beans sold is (119/8) * d.
To find the remaining bushels of beans the farmer has, subtract the amount sold from the initial amount:
Remaining bushels of beans = 240 - (119/8) * d
Therefore, the change in the total number of bushels the farmer has for sale after d days is (119/8) * d.
