Yesterday, Katy's Donut Shop sold 1 1/4
times as many chocolate donuts as cinnamon donuts. If they sold 3 1/3
trays of cinnamon donuts, how many trays of chocolate donuts did they sell?
To find out how many trays of chocolate donuts Katy's Donut Shop sold, we first need to determine the number of trays of cinnamon donuts sold.
Given that they sold 3 1/3 trays of cinnamon donuts, we convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
3 1/3 = (3*3 + 1)/3 = 10/3 trays
Next, we know that they sold 1 1/4 times as many chocolate donuts as cinnamon donuts. So, we first find 1 1/4:
1 1/4 = (1*4 + 1)/4 = 5/4
Now, to find the number of trays of chocolate donuts sold, we multiply the number of trays of cinnamon donuts by 5/4:
10/3 * 5/4 = (10*5)/(3*4) = 50/12 = 4 1/6
Therefore, Katy's Donut Shop sold 4 1/6 trays of chocolate donuts.
