Question

The elephants at the zoo eat 2 1/6 buckets of bananas each day. The zookeeper bought 6 1/2 buckets of bananas. How many days will the bananas last?

Answer 1

3 days.

Explanation:

1 day= 2 1/6

He has 1/2 but we need to change 2 to 6 so x 3 so now times 1 by 3 to 6 3/6

Day 2=4 2/6

And last day 3 3/6

Because in one day they eat 2 whole's so 2 x 3=6 and that has the wholes.

and then 1/6 so 1 x 3=3/6 and 6 wholes so 6 wholes and 3/6 and that means they eat 6 3/6 in 3 day.

Hope it helps have a great day:)
