Question

At lunch time, Jeff often borrows money from his friends to buy snacks in the school cafeteria. Jeff borrowed $0.75 from his friend Keith five days last week to buy ice cream bars. Represent the amount Jeff borrowed as the product of two rational numbers; then, determine how much Jeff owe his friend last week. Plz I will give you 100 points

Answer 1

Answer: a) The amount Jeff owe his friend=
`5*0.75`→ Product of rationals

The amount Jeff owe his friend= $3.75

Explanation:

Given: The amount borrowed by Jeff per day= $0.75

So, the amount borrowed by Jeff in 5 days (in dollars)=
`5*0.75`

Here we got the amount borrowed by Jeff in 5 days (in dollars) as a product of rationals
`5*0.75`, where 5 and 0.75 both are rational numbers.

Now, by multiplication we get that the amount borrowed by Jeff in 5 days (in dollars)=$3.75
