Question

Mrs. Campbell used 3/5 lb of sugar in 6 days. If she used the same amount each day, how much sugar did she use each day? Give your answer in pounds?

Answer 1

Let's start with what we know, 3/5 pounds is equal to 60% or 0.60. 0.60÷6=0.10 pounds of sugar daily. So, Mrs. Campbell used one tenth of a pound. (1/10 or 0.10 or 0.1) I hope this helps!

Answer 2

.10 pounds of sugar each day.

Explanation:

In order to solve this we first have to calculate how many pounds of sugar she used in total, we just need to solve the fraction 3/5

3/5=.60

So she used .6 pounds in the 6 days, if she used the same amount each day, we just divide the .6 by the 6 days:

.6/6=.1 pounds

So we know that Mrs Campbell used .1 pounds a day.
