Answer:
Julie buy [tex]5\frac{5}{7}[/tex] pounds of turnips.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that Julie bought a bag of parsnips that weighed ([tex]4\frac{2}{7}[/tex]) pounds. She also bought a bag of turnips that weighed ([tex]1\frac{1}{3}[/tex]) times as much as the parsnips.
We have to find how many pounds of turnips did Julie buy.
Firstly, the weight of a bag of parsnips that Julie bought = [tex]4\frac{2}{7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{30}{7}[/tex] pounds
Now, it is stated that she bought a bag of turnips that weighed ([tex]1\frac{1}{3}[/tex]) times as much as the parsnips, that means;
Weight turnips bag = [tex]\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{30}{7}[/tex]
= [tex]4 \times \frac{10}{7}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{40}{7}[/tex]
So, Julie buy [tex]5\frac{5}{7}[/tex] pounds of turnips.
