Question

Jake and carry 6 and 1/4 lb of wood in from the barn his father can carry one and five seven times as much as Jake how many pounds can Jake's father carry

Answer 1

Jake's father can carry 10 and 5/7 lb of wood.

Explanation:

Jake carried 6 and 1/4 lb of wood.

Let's convert this to an improper fraction:

6 and 1/4 = (4 * 6 + 1)/4 = 25/4

So, Jake carried 25/4 lb of wood.

Jake's father can carry 1 and 5/7 times as much as Jake.

Let's convert this to a fraction:

1 and 5/7 = (7 * 1 + 5)/7 = 12/7

So, Jake's father can carry 12/7 times as much as Jake.

To find out how many pounds Jake's father can carry, we need to multiply Jake's weight by 12/7:

Jake's father can carry = (25/4) * (12/7)

= (25 * 12) / (4 * 7)

= 300/28

= 10 and 5/7 lb (when simplified to a mixed number)
