Question

Jake can carry 6 1/4 pounds of wood in from the barn. His father can carry 15/7 times as much as Jake. How many pounds can Jakes father carry?

Answer 1

If you would like to know how many pounds can Jake's father carry, you can calculate this using the following steps:

6 1/4 = 25/4 pounds of wood

15/7 * 6 1/4 = 15/7 * 25/4 = 375/28 = 13 11/28 pounds

Result: Jake's father can carry 13 11/28 pounds of wood.
