Jakie wants to plant 2 1/2 rows in her garden .she needs 3 1/4 ounces of seed for each row . How many total ounces of seeds should Jakie buy
2 1/2 * 3 1/4
5/2 * 13/4
65/8
8 1/8 ounces, or buy 9 total ounces.
To find the total ounces of seeds that Jakie should buy, we need to multiply the number of rows by the amount of seed needed per row.
Step 1: Multiply the number of rows (2 1/2) by the amount of seed needed per row (3 1/4 ounces).
2 1/2 x 3 1/4 = (5/2) x (13/4)
Step 2: Multiply the whole numbers:
5/2 x 13/4 = 65/8
Step 3: Simplify the fraction:
65/8 = 8 1/8
Therefore, Jakie should buy a total of 8 1/8 ounces of seeds.
To find the total ounces of seeds Jakie should buy, we need to multiply the number of rows by the amount of seed needed for each row.
Jakie wants to plant 2 1/2 rows. We can treat this as 2 rows plus half a row. So, we will first calculate the total amount of seed needed for 2 rows and then add the amount needed for half a row.
For 2 rows:
2 rows x 3 1/4 ounces of seed per row = 6 1/2 ounces of seed
Now, we need to calculate the amount of seed needed for half a row. Since half a row is 1/2 of 3 1/4 ounces, we can calculate it by multiplying 1/2 by 3 1/4:
1/2 x 3 1/4 ounces = 3/2 x 13/4 ounces = 39/8 ounces = 4 7/8 ounces
Finally, we add the amount of seed needed for 2 rows and the amount of seed needed for half a row:
6 1/2 ounces + 4 7/8 ounces = 11 3/8 ounces
Therefore, Jakie should buy a total of 11 3/8 ounces of seeds.
