Question

Ben has a bag full of apples which is( 8)/(12) full. If each apple fills up( 2)/(12) of the bag, how much apples would ben have outside of the bag if Speed gave him 7 apples?

Answer 1

Ben would have 4 apples outside of the bag if Speed gave him 7 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ben has a bag that is (8)/(12) full. If each apple fills up (2)/(12) of the bag, we can determine how many apples Ben has outside of the bag when he is given 7 more apples by Speed.

To find the total capacity of the bag, we need to find the total number of apples it can hold. Since each apple fills up (2)/(12) of the bag, we can divide the capacity of the bag by this fraction:

Total capacity of the bag = (8)/(12) x 7 = (8/12) x 7 = 56/12 = 4.67 apples

So, Ben would have 4 apples outside of the bag if Speed gave him 7 apples.
