Question

Mark has three 4 1/2 oz cans and five 8 1/4 oz cans. How many ounces of tomatoes does Mark need?​

Answer 1

54.74 ounces of tomatoes mark need.

Explanation:

Given : Mark has three
`4(1)/(2)` oz cans and five
`8(1)/(4)` oz cans.

To find : How many ounces of tomatoes does Mark need?​

Solution :

Mark has three
`4(1)/(2)` oz cans.

i.e.
`3* 4(1)/(2)=3* (9)/(2)=(27)/(2)`

Mark has five
`8(1)/(4)` oz cans.

i.e.
`5* 8(1)/(4)=5* (33)/(4)=(165)/(4)`

Total ounces of tomatoes does Mark need is

`T=(27)/(2)+(165)/(4)`

`T=(54+165)/(4)`

`T=(219)/(4)`

`T=54.75`

Therefore, 54.74 ounces of tomatoes mark need.
