Final answer:
To find out how many days the cereal will last, we need to divide the whole box of cereal by the amount Jackson eats each day. The cereal will last for 7.5 days, which is equivalent to 7 days and 12 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how many days the cereal will last, we need to divide the whole box of cereal by the amount Jackson eats each day. Jackson eats 1/10 of the cereal each day, so the number of days the cereal will last is equal to the reciprocal of 1/10 multiplied by the whole box of cereal.
Reciprocal of 1/10 is 10/1, so we multiply 10/1 by 3/4 to find the number of days:
10/1 * 3/4 = 30/4 = 7.5
The cereal will last for 7.5 days, which is equivalent to 7 days and 12 hours.
