Question

A jar contains 133 pennies. A bigger hat contains 1 2/7 times as many pennies. What is the value of the pennies in the bigger jar?

Answer 1

A jar contains 133 pennies. A bigger jar contains 1 2/7 times as many pennies.

A bigger jar contains
`1 (2)/(7) = (9)/(7)`times as many pennies.

Pennies in bigger hat =
`(9)/(7)` * pennies in the jar

=
`(9)/(7)* 133 = (1197)/(7)= 171`

So, there are 171 pennies in the bigger jar.
