Final answer:

Kaiden used 27/50 of a bag of lemons on Tuesday after using 3/5 on Monday and 9/10 of the Monday amount on Tuesday. However, this answer is not found among the provided options, suggesting a possible issue with the options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how many bags of lemons Kaiden used on Tuesday given that he used 3/5 of a bag of lemons on Monday and 9/10 of the amount on Tuesday. To find out how many bags he used on Tuesday, you first need to calculate 9/10 of 3/5.

First, express the operation as a multiplication of fractions: (9/10) × (3/5).

Next, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together: (9 × 3) / (10 × 5).

Then compute the multiplication: 27 / 50.

Now simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, 27 / 50 is already in its simplest form and does not simplify any further. This means Kaiden used 27/50 of a bag on Tuesday, which is not one of the answer options provided. However, 27/50 is slightly more than half (25/50), which suggests an issue with the answer choices provided, as none of them match the correct calculation.
