Answer 1

Answer: Amount of pinto beaks
`=30(3)/(5)\text{ pounds}`

Explanation:

Given: Amount of beans a farmer has =
`40(4)/(5)\text{ pounds}=(40*5+4)/(5)\text{ pounds}`

`=(204)/(5)\text{ pounds}`

Also,
`(3)/(4)` of the beans are pinto beans .

Amount of pinto beaks =
`\frac 34*` (Amount of beans a farmer has)

=
`\frac34*(204)/(5)=(153)/(5)\text{ pounds}`

`=30(3)/(5)\text{ pounds}`

Amount of pinto beaks
`=30(3)/(5)\text{ pounds}`
