Question

Daniella collected 4242 bushels of peas from her garden today. Tomorrow she will send \frac{3}{7} 7 3 ​ of the peas to market. How many bushels will she KEEP?

Answer 1

Answer: 24

Explanation:

Amount of bushels of peas collected = 42

Fraction that'll be sent to market = 3/7

Fraction that'll be kept = 1 - 3/7 = 7/7 - 3/7 = 4/7

The number of bushels that'll be kept will be:

= Fraction that'll be kept × Total number of bushels collected

= 4/7 × 42

= 24
