Question

Eve’s gecko eats 2/7 jar of baby food a day . She has 10 jars of baby food. How many days can she feed her gecko with this food ?

Answer 1

Answer: 35 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that 2/7 of a jar are use per day to feed the gecko. If she has 10 jars, what we need to do is divide 10 days by 2/7 per day, and we will find the number of days that she can feed her gecko.

-Divide 10 by 2/7:

10 ÷ 2/7

this is equal to the following:

`(10\cdot7)/(2)`

we multiply 10 by the denominator 7 and divide by 2.

solving the operations:

`(10\cdot7)/(2)=(70)/(2)=35`

How many days can she feed her gecko with this food ? 35
