Answer 1

What we know:

• Bird feeder capacity: --> 2 4/5 cups
• Samantha's scoop capacity: --> 7/10 cups

Lets first convert the mixed partial fraction --> improper fraction

--> for easier calculation

After Conversion:

• Bird feeder capacity: --> 14/5 cups
• Samantha's scoop capacity: --> 7/10 cups

To find how many scoops of birdseed will Samantha put into the feeder we must:

--> divide the total capacity by the scoop's capacity

--> find the number of scoops:

Solve:

`Total-number- of -scoops = ((14)/(5) )/((7)/(10) ) =(14)/(5) *(10)/(7) =(14*10)/(5*7) =(14)/(7) *(10)/(5) =2*2=4`

Thus the total number of scoops that Samantha will put into the bird feeder is 4

Answer: 4
