Respuesta :
she would have to divide them evenly so the equation would be 3.5÷7 which would equal to 0.5 pounds
Given, Kristin bought [tex] 3 \frac{1}{2} [/tex] pounds of apples.
She wants to last them through 1 week. We know that there are 7 days in a week. She splitted the apples for per day. We have to find how much apples kristin will eat per day.
First we have to convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction.
[tex] 3\frac{1}{2} = \frac{(3)(2)+1}{2} [/tex]
= [tex] \frac{(6+1)}{2} [/tex]
= [tex] \frac{7}{2} [/tex]
Kristin will eat apples in 7 days = [tex] \frac{7}{2} [/tex] pounds
So to find apples for 1 day we have to divide them. We will get,
[tex] \frac{7}{2} [/tex]÷ 7
= 3.5 ÷ 7
= [tex] \frac{3.5}{7} [/tex]
= [tex] 0.5 [/tex]
We have got the required answer.
Kritin will eat 0.5 pounds of apples each day.
