Question

Help please i’m stuck

Answer 1

108 full loads

Explanation:

Each load uses up 1 1/3 scoops and total there is 145 scoops. So, how many loads of laundry can be washed??

We divide total scoops by number of scoops in each load of laundry. But before we do that, we need to convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction by using the rule shown below:

`a(b)/(c)=((a*c)+b)/(c)`

hence:

`1(1)/(3)=(4)/(3)`

Now the division problem:

`(145)/((4)/(3))=145*(3)/(4)=108.75`

So, a whole lot of 108 load of laundry can be washed.
