Question

Taylor has 6 pounds of naval oranges and 2 1/2 pounds of blood oranges. If she uses 4 3/4 pounds of naval oranges in a​ juice, how many pounds of oranges does she have​ left?

Answer 1

So total oranges = 6 + 2 1/2= 6 5/2 = 17/2 pounds
So that means he uses 3/4 pounds
So the orange he has left is 17/2-3/4=34-3/4
So that equals 31/4 pounds and that’s the answer.
Hope this helps

Answer 2

3.65 pounds

Explanation:

6 + 2 1/2 (2.5) pounds of oranges = 8.5

4 3/4 = 4.75

8.5 - 4.75 = 3.65
