Question

Write and solve a real-world problem that involves finding the product of a fraction and a mixed number.

Answer 1

Kelvin collected 1
`(2)/(3)` bags of rice

Explanation:

Example of a real world problem

Jane collected 1/3 of a bag of rice . and Kelvin collected 5 times as many bags as Jane. How many bags of rice did Kelvin collect?

kelvin collected

5/1 * 1/3 = 5 /3

5/3 = 1
