Answer:
51/23 or 2 5/23
Step-by-step explanation:
2 5/6= 17/6
3 5/6= 23/6
17/6÷23/6
17/6×6/23=
17/23=1 lawn
17/23×3=51/23
A container with gallons of weed killer can spray = lawans
∵ in lawn the week killer can spray = gallons
∴ in 1 lawn the weed killer is used = × gallon
∴ in 3 lawns the weed killer can spray = × × 3 = gallon = gallons
Answer:
1. 2 5/23 gallons
2. 5 5/39 spoons of syrup
Step-by-step explanation:
1. A container with 17/6 gallons of weed killer can spray 23/6 lawns. We need to figure out how much weed killer it would take to spray 3 lawns. Divide 17/6 by 23/6.
17/6 / 23/6
17/6 * 6/23
The two 6’s cancel out.
17/23 * 3/1
51/23
It would take 2 5/23 gallons to spray 3 lawns.
2. It takes 20/6 spoons of chocolate syrup to make 13/5 gallons of chocolate mink. We need to know how many spoons of syrup it would take to make 4 gallons of chocolate milk.
20/6 / 13/5
20/6 * 5/13
10/3 * 5/13
50/39
(50 * 4)/39
200/39
It would take 5 5/39 spoons of syrup to make 4 gallons of chocolate milk.
