Question

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

Answer 1

we have to divide the amounts given in the problem

`\begin{gathered} 7(1)/(2)=(15)/(2) \\ 1(1)/(2)=(3)/(2) \end{gathered}`

so we have

`((15)/(2))/((3)/(2))=(15)/(2)\cdot(2)/(3)=5`

It will last 5 days
