Daniel cuts 1 1/2 pies into slices that are 1/8 of a whole pie to serve after dinner. Using your knowledge of dividing and reciprocals, how many slices did Daniel cut?
To find the number of slices Daniel cut, we need to divide the total number of pies by the size of each slice.
Since Daniel has 1 1/2 pies, this can be written as 1 + 1/2 = 3/2.
To divide this by 1/8, we multiply the fractions by the reciprocal: (3/2) / (1/8) = 3/2 * 8/1 = 24/2 = <<3/2*8/1=24>>24 slices.
Therefore, Daniel cut 24 slices. Answer: \boxed{24}.
Isabella picked 813 pounds of apples at an orchard. She had 2 bags to put them in. How many pounds did each bag hold?(1 point)
To find out how many pounds each bag held, we need to divide the total number of pounds of apples by the number of bags.
Isabella picked 813 pounds of apples and had 2 bags.
To find out how many pounds each bag held, we can divide 813 by 2.
813 divided by 2 is 406.5.
Therefore, each bag held 406.5 pounds of apples. Answer: \boxed{406.5}.
im sorry bot but 813 is acucule 8 1/3
I apologize for the misunderstanding. To find out how many pounds each bag held, we need to divide the total number of pounds of apples by the number of bags.
Isabella picked 8 1/3 (or 8.33) pounds of apples and had 2 bags.
To find out how many pounds each bag held, we can divide 8.33 by 2.
8.33 divided by 2 is 4.165 (rounded to three decimal places).
Therefore, each bag held approximately 4.165 pounds of apples. Answer: \boxed{4.165}.
can you make it a fraciton please my mistake
Certainly! When the total number of pounds is expressed as a fraction, we have:
Isabella picked a total of 8 1/3 pounds of apples, which can be written as 25/3 pounds.
To find out how many pounds each bag held, we can divide 25/3 by 2.
Dividing 25/3 by 2, we multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator: (25/3) / 2 = (25/3) * (1/2) = 25/6.
Therefore, each bag held 25/6 pounds of apples. Answer: \boxed{\frac{25}{6}}.
now as a mixed number
To express the answer as a mixed number, we can divide the numerator (25) by the denominator (6) and write the remainder as a fractional part.
25 divided by 6 equals 4 with a remainder of 1.
Therefore, each bag held 4 and 1/6 pounds of apples. Answer: \boxed{4\frac{1}{6}}.
