Question

a bottle of soda had 4 2/7 of the daily recommended sugar.if you were to drink ½ of the bottle,how. much of the daily recommend sugar would you have drank?

Answer 1

did I understand correctly, the first number is:


`4(2)/(7)`?

in other words, this would be:


`(4*7+2)/(7) = (30)/(7)`

and if you drink half of it, then we divide this number by 2:


`(15)/(7)`

because 30/2=15

so you would have


`2 (1)/(7)`

still more than a daily dose!
