Question

A food scientist determine the new type of orange is 15.38 mg of vitamin c/oz how much vitamin C is in orange that weighs 6 3/5 oz in your answer as a decimal to the nearest 10th in the box

Answer 1

(Sorry this is a late response) This fraction 6 3/5 would equal 6.6 so 6 3/5=6.6 Then you will do 6.6 times 15.38=101.508 or 101.5

Explanation:

You would divide 3 and 5 or 5 and 3 because 3 and 5 equals the fraction 3/5. The dividend is 3 and the 5 is the divisor. The quotient of this is 0.6. So the next step would be to add the 6 from 6 3/5 so this is the whole number so add it in front of 0.6 so it would turn into 6.6. The last step is to multiply the weight of the orange by the mg of vitamin C/oz that is 15.38 so multiply 6.6 by 15.38 this would equal 101.508 so you would just round this to a better answer and that would make it 101.5. I hope this helps :0
