Eric operates an orange juice stand. On Monday he used 4 1/3 bags of oranges. On Tuesday he used 1/2
as many oranges as on Monday. How many bags of oranges did Eric use on Tuesday?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2 1/6 bags of oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

First, make 4 1/3 and improper fraction:

    [tex]\frac{13}{3}[/tex]

Next, multiply [tex]\frac{13}{3}[/tex] by [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{13}{3}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{13}{6}[/tex]

Finally make the [tex]\frac{13}{6}[/tex] a mixed number:

[tex]2\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
