Question

Daniela buys 6 lb of sausages. Only 5/8 of the sausages are used. How many pounds of sausages were used?

Answer 1

To find out how many pounds of sausages were used, multiply 5/8 by 6, resulting in 3.75 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many pounds of sausages were used, we need to calculate 5/8 of 6 pounds. To do this, we can multiply 5/8 by 6.

Using the formula for multiplying fractions, we have (5/8) * (6/1) = (5 * 6) / (8 * 1) = 30 / 8 = 3.75 pounds.

Therefore, 3.75 pounds of sausages were used.

Answer 2

15/4 or 3.75 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, for this, we need to find what 5/8 of 6 is, which can be done by simply multiplying 6 by 5/8.

6 * 5/8 = 30/8

Now, let's simplify 30/8. Both numbers are divisible by two, so we can reduce it to 15/4, or 3.75 pounds.
