Question

Every day, Ed's orange juice stand uses 2/3 of a bag of oranges. How many days will 2 2/3 bags of oranges last?

Answer 1

Answer:

4days

Step by step solved:

If 2/3 of a bag of oranges is used every day, then in one day Ed's orange juice stand uses:

2/3 * 1 = 2/3

of a bag of oranges.

To find out how many days 2 2/3 bags of oranges will last, we can divide the total amount of oranges by the amount used each day:

2 2/3 = 8/3

8/3 ÷ 2/3 = 8/3 × 3/2 = 12/3 = 4

Therefore, 2 2/3 bags of oranges will last Ed's orange juice stand for 4 days.

Answer 2

4 days

Explanation:

2 2/3 ÷ 2/3

2 2/3 =
`(3)/(3)` +
`(3)/(3)` +
`(2)/(3)` =
`(8)/(3)` (
`(3)/(3)` is another name for 1)

`(8)/(3)` ÷
`(2)/(3)` =
`(4)/(1)` = 4
