Fabian harvest 10 pounds of tomatoes from his garden he needs two and 2/5 lb to make a batch of soup if he sets aside 2 and 8/10 lb of tomatoes to make spaghetti sauce how many batches of soup can Fabian make.


Sagot :

He can make 3 batches of soup.

Starting with 10 pounds of tomatoes and taking out the number of pounds he sets aside for spaghetti sauce, 2.8, we have:
10-2.8 = 7.2 pounds left.

0.2 is read as "two tenths," so 7.2 = 7 2/10

We divide this remaining number of pounds by 2 2/5 for each batch of soup:

7 2/10 ÷ 2 2/5

Convert each to an improper fraction:
72/10 ÷ 12/5

Multiply by the reciprocal:
72/10 × 5/12 = 360/120 = 3
