Every day, Krysta's burrito stand uses 1 7/10 bags of tortillas. How many days will 8 1/2 bags of tortillas last?

Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.

Answer 1

5 days

Step-by-step explanation

1.turn 8 1/2 back to its original form which is 17/2

2. multiply by 5 because 2 times 5 is 10 which is the number we need the make the denominators even and because we multiplied by 5 on the bottom we multipliy by 5 on the top to make it even which is 85/10

3. put 1 7/10 back to its original form which is 17/10, and because 85 divided by 17 is 5 your answer would be 5 days

Answer 2

5 days

Explanation:

If you write it out it will look like this 8 1/2÷1 7/10

since you can't divide mixed fractions very easily, you make them improper fractions. 8 1/2 -> 17/2 1 7/10 -> 17/10

So it looks like 17/2÷17/10

because of maths you have to turn 17/10 into 10/17

And when you do the maths (multiply it together) you get 5
