Question

A farmer sells an average of 15 3/5 bushels of corn each day. What integer represents the change in bushels of corn in his inventory after 6 days.

Answer 1

If this is multiplying to find out how much it would be 93 3/5 by day 6

Answer 2

A farmer sells an average of 15 3/5 bushels of corn each day.

In mixed fraction it is ;

`(78)/(5)`

Let us say he has a total of x bushels.

So, after 6 days, he will sell,
`6*(78)/(5)` bushels of corn.

=
`(468)/(5)` bushels of corn.

Hence, his left over inventory will have =
`x-(468)/(5)` bushels.
