Anita has written a book of tips on staying healthy each book weighs 15/16 Lb if she packs 12 books in a box shipping what will the shipping weight be excluding the box convert the answer to a mixed number.
The weight of each book is 15/16 lb.
To find the shipping weight, we need to multiply the weight of each book by the number of books in the box.
15/16 lb/book * 12 books = 180/16 lb
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 4:
180/16 ÷ 4/4 = 45/4 lb
To convert this to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (45) by the denominator (4):
45 ÷ 4 = 11 remainder 1
Therefore, the shipping weight, excluding the box, is 11 1/4 lb.
that was correct! now try this one Pietro Likes to put 2 1/3 tablespoons of flaxseed on his morning cereal as a health supplement how much flaxseed does he need for a 30-day supply.
Pietro likes to put 2 1/3 tablespoons of flaxseed on his morning cereal.
To find out how much flaxseed he needs for a 30-day supply, we need to multiply the amount he uses per day by the number of days in a month.
2 1/3 tablespoons/day * 30 days = (2 + 1/3) * 30
To multiply the whole number (2) by 30, we get:
2 * 30 = 60
To multiply the fraction (1/3) by 30, we first convert it to a common denominator of 3:
1/3 = 10/30
Then, we multiply:
10/30 * 30 = 10
Now, we add the results together:
60 + 10 = 70
Therefore, Pietro needs 70 tablespoons of flaxseed for a 30-day supply.
that was correct you are on a roll lets do a harder one Elena was running a course 7/8 of a mile long she stopped 2/3 of the way through to drink some water how far had she run at that point write the answer in simplest form
Elena was running a course that is 7/8 of a mile long.
To find out how far she had run when she stopped, we need to calculate 2/3 of 7/8.
To find 2/3 of a fraction, we multiply:
(2/3) * (7/8) = (2*7)/(3*8) = 14/24
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
14/24 ÷ 2/2 = 7/12
Therefore, when Elena stopped to drink water, she had run 7/12 of a mile.
correct now lets do this one Lara spends 1 3/4 hours working out She spends 2/5 of the time doing stretching exercises how much time does she spend doing stretching exercises write the answer in simplest form.
Lara spends 1 3/4 hours working out.
To find out how much time she spends doing stretching exercises, we need to calculate 2/5 of 1 3/4.
First, we need to convert 1 3/4 to an improper fraction.
1 3/4 = (4*1 + 3)/4 = 7/4
Now, we can calculate 2/5 of 7/4.
To find 2/5 of a fraction, we multiply:
(2/5) * (7/4) = (2*7)/(5*4) = 14/20
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
14/20 ÷ 2/2 = 7/10
Therefore, Lara spends 7/10 of an hour or 42 minutes doing stretching exercises.
that was correct now lets do one more Lars has 10 baskets of vegetables each basket contains 1 1/2 Lb of vegetables what is the total weight of all the vegetable in the baskets covert the answer to a mixed number.
Lars has 10 baskets of vegetables, and each basket contains 1 1/2 pounds of vegetables.
To find the total weight of all the vegetables, we need to multiply the weight of each basket by the number of baskets.
1 1/2 lbs/basket * 10 baskets = (3/2) * 10
To multiply 3/2 by 10, we get:
(3/2) * 10 = 30/2 = 15
Therefore, the total weight of all the vegetables in the baskets is 15 pounds, which can also be expressed as a mixed number: 15 0/1 pounds.
