Lars has 10
baskets of vegetables. Each basket contains 1 1/2lb
of vegetables. What is the total weight of all the vegetables in the baskets? Convert the answer to a mixed number.(1 point)
The total weight of all the vegetables is 10 x 1 1/2 = 15 pounds.
To convert this to a mixed number, we divide 15 by 1 1/2.
15 ÷ 1 1/2 = (15/1) ÷ (3/2) = 15/1 x 2/3 = 30/3 = 10.
So the total weight of all the vegetables in the baskets is 10 pounds.
