Question

24. Kyla has 2/7the amount of cherries that Denise has. If Kyla has 46 cherries, how many cherries do they have altogether​

Answer 1

The answer is 161 cherries.

You can find this out by doing a reverse division problem. Take the 46 and put it over 1 as so (46/1). You will then want to multiply it by the reciprocal or the opposite of 2/7th which is 7/2. Once you do the equation (46/1)•(7/2) you will get 161!

Answer 2

207

Explanation:

Denise has 46(7/2) = 161 cherries.

So, they have a total of 161 + 46 = 207 cherries
