cach problem. Make sure to write your answer as a fraction.
Henry wanted to collect 65 pounds of cans in 7 days. How much should he
collect each day to reach his goal? Which two whole numbers does your
answer lie between?

Answer 1

The answer lies between 9 and 10.

Explanation:

It is given that:

Pounds of cans to be collected = 65 pounds

Number of days = 7

Cans per day =
`(Total\ pounds)/(Days)`

Cans per day =
`9(2)/(7)`

As 2/7 is less than one.

Therefore,

The answer lies between 9 and 10.
