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)
To find the total weight of the vegetables, we need to multiply the weight of one basket of vegetables by the number of baskets.
The weight of one basket of vegetables is 1 1/2 lb, and there are 10 baskets.
To multiply 1 1/2 by 10, we can write it as an improper fraction: 3/2.
Multiplying, we get: 3/2 * 10 = 30/2 = 15.
So the total weight of all the vegetables in the baskets is 15 lbs.
Since the total weight is given in lbs, the answer should also be given in lbs, so the mixed number form is 15.
