A package of paper weighs 3\frac{4}{6} ounces. If Edward put 3\frac{1}{2} packages of paper on a scale, how much would they weigh?

Respuesta :

Answer:

They would weight [tex]1\frac{1}{21}[/tex] ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of complete package of paper = [tex]3 \frac{4}{6}[/tex] ounces

Weight of complete package of paper =[tex]\frac{22}{6}[/tex]ounces

Edward put[tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] packages of paper on a scale

So, Weight of [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] packages   [tex]= \frac{\frac{22}{6}}{3\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]

Weight of [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] packages [tex]= \frac{\frac{22}{6}}{\frac{7}{2}}[/tex]

Weight of [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] packages =[tex]\frac{22}{21}=1\frac{1}{21}[/tex]

Hence They would weight [tex]1\frac{1}{21}[/tex] ounces
