Question

Eric operates an orange juice stand. On Monday he used 4 1/3 bags of oranges. On Tuesday he used 1/2

as many oranges as on Monday. How many bags of oranges did Eric use on Tuesday?

Answer 1

2 1/6 bags of oranges

Explanation:

First, make 4 1/3 and improper fraction:

`(13)/(3)`

Next, multiply
`(13)/(3)` by
`(1)/(2)`

`(13)/(3)` ×
`(1)/(2)` =
`(13)/(6)`

Finally make the
`(13)/(6)` a mixed number:

`2(1)/(6)`
