A.) 432 3/4 bushels
B.) 495 bushels
C.) 459 bushels
D.) 459 3/4 bushels

Answer 1

This is actually pretty simple.
multiply 12.75 by 36 to get your answer.

Answer 2

1.).....12 3/4 = ((4 x 12) + 3) /4 = 51 / 4
51/4 times 36 = 51 / 4 x 36/1 = (51 x 36) / (4 x 1) = 1836 / 4 = 1836 divided by 4 =
459 bushels.
