Question

Tyler bought 3 7/16 pounds of oranges write this amount using a decimal

Answer 1

3.4375 pounds is the weight of the oranges Tyler bought.

Explanation:

Tyler bought
`3(7)/(16)` pounds of oranges.

That means he purchased 3 pounds plus a fraction of one pound of oranges.

We can rewrite the weight as 3 pounds +
`(7)/(16)` pounds

Now the fraction can be written in decimals as

`(7)/(16)` = 0.4375

Therefore, the weight of oranges will be

3 + 0.4375 = 3.4375 pounds

Answer 2

Alright, lets get started.

Tyler bought pounds of oranges =
`3(7)/(16)`

The order we have given is called mixed fraction.

Mixed fraction means a whole number combined with a fraction.

Means oranges =
`3(7)/(16)=3 + (7)/(16)`

Means oranges =
`3 + 0.4375`

Means oranges = 3.4375 pounds

So, the answer in decimal is 3.4375 pounds. : Answer
