Answer:
Jake's father can carry 10 and 5/7 lb of wood.
Explanation:
Jake carried 6 and 1/4 lb of wood.
Let's convert this to an improper fraction:
6 and 1/4 = (4 * 6 + 1)/4 = 25/4
So, Jake carried 25/4 lb of wood.
Jake's father can carry 1 and 5/7 times as much as Jake.
Let's convert this to a fraction:
1 and 5/7 = (7 * 1 + 5)/7 = 12/7
So, Jake's father can carry 12/7 times as much as Jake.
To find out how many pounds Jake's father can carry, we need to multiply Jake's weight by 12/7:
Jake's father can carry = (25/4) * (12/7)
= (25 * 12) / (4 * 7)
= 300/28
= 10 and 5/7 lb (when simplified to a mixed number)
