Question

Workers at Samantha strStrawberry patch picked 3 1/2 dozen strawberries on Monday on Tuesday they pick 4 1/4 times as many how many dozens isStrawberries did they pick on Tuesday

Answer 1

The number of dozens of strawberries ordered on Tuesday is
`14(7)/(8)` dozen

Explanation:

The amount of strawberries picked on Monday = 3 1/2 dozen

Now,
`3(1)/(2)  = 3 + (1)/(2)  = 3 + 0.5  = 3.5`

So, the dozen of strawberries picked by workers on Monday = 3.5 dozen

Now, the amount of strawberries picked on Tuesday

= 4 1/4 times ( Strawberries picked on Monday)

Also,
`4(1)/(4)  = 4 + (1)/(4)  = 4 + 0.25  = 4.25`

So, the strawberries picked on Tuesday = 4.25 x ( 3.5 dozen)

= 14.875 dozen

`14.875 = 14 + 0.875   =  14 + (875)/(1000)  = 14 + (7)/(8)  = 14(7)/(8)`

Hence, the number of dozens of strawberries ordered on Tuesday =
`14(7)/(8)`
