Question

Sierra collected 39 seashells before breakfast and two and one third times as many after breakfast. How many seashells did Sierra collect in all?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Seashells collected before breakfast = 39

Seashells collected after breakfast = 2 and 1/3 = 2
`(1)/(3)`,

and 1/3 as a decimal = 0.3333

Add 2 to 0.3333 to get =2.3333 times

Therefore ,Seashells collected after breakfast = 2.3333*39 = 90.9987 ,which is roughly 91

Next, add 91 to 39 to get total; 91+36 = 127

The total number of Seashells Sierra collected were 127
