Every day, Carmen's burrito stand uses 1 1/2 bags of tortillas. How many days will 7 1/2 bags of tortillas last?

Sagot :

we have to divide the amounts given in the problem

[tex]\begin{gathered} 7\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{2} \\ 1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

so we have

[tex]\frac{\frac{15}{2}}{\frac{3}{2}}=\frac{15}{2}\cdot\frac{2}{3}=5[/tex]

It will last 5 days
