I have two questions... question number one Leah bought 4 1/2 pounds of grapes.of the grapes she bought 1 7/8 pounds wear red grapes the rest wear green grapes how many pounds of green grapes did Leah Buy A 2 3/8 B 2 5/8 C 3 3/8 D 3 5/8.

question number 2 to which place value is the following number rounded A ones B tenths C hundreds D thousands

Answer 1

Question 1:

First, let's convert both mixed numbers to an improper fraction with a denominator of 8.


4 1/2= 32/8+4/8=36/8
1 7/8= 8/8+7/8= 15/8

Now since the number below the line in the fractions are the same, we can compare them.

Total grapes= 4 1/2 pounds or 36/8 pounds
Red grapes=1 7/8 pounds or 15/8 pounds
Green grapes= ?

To solve for the green grapes, we need to subtract the number of red grapes from the number of total grapes.

36/8=15/8=21/8

Green grapes= 21/8

since 21/8 is an improper fraction, lets convert it to a mixed number

21/8= 2 5/8

Answer: B 2 5/8

Question 2: 5.927 to 5.93

This number was rounded to the nearest hundredths place. We see the number two, was the number being rounded/changed in the action taken. Since the number 2 is in the hundreds place, the answer is C

Answer=C
