Question

James buys 2 4/5 kilograms of red potatoes. He buys yellow potatoes that weigh 3/4 as much as the red potatoes.

How many kilograms of yellow potatoes does James buy?

Answer 1

James buys 2 1/10 kilograms of yellow potatoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many kilograms of yellow potatoes James buys, we need to multiply the weight of the red potatoes by 3/4.

First, let's convert 2 4/5 kilograms into an improper fraction. 2 4/5 is equivalent to 14/5 kilograms.

Now, multiply 14/5 by 3/4 to get the weight of the yellow potatoes: (14/5) * (3/4) = 42/20 = 2 2/20 = 2 1/10 kilograms of yellow potatoes.

Answer 2

2 1/10 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

2 4/5 x 3/4

Make improper fraction

14/5 x 3/4 = 42/20

Reduce to 2 1/10
