Answer: 2 days
Explanation:
The monkeys eat 3 ²/₃ buckets of bananas each day. Convert this to an improper fraction:
= 3²/₃ = 11/3 buckets per day
The zookeeper bought 7¹/₃ which is:
= 22/3 buckets
To find out the number of days the bananas will last, divide the buckets bought by the buckets eaten per day:
= 22/3 ÷ 11/3
= 22/3 * 3/11
= 66/33
= 2 days
If dividing fractions, multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
