Question

The elephants at the zoo eat 1 1/2 buckets of bananas each day. The zookeeper bought 7 1/2 buckets of bananas. How many days will the bananas last?

Answer 1

5 days

Explanation:

To find the number of days, take the total number of buckets and divide by the number of buckets per day

7 1/2 / 1 1/2

Change each number to an improper fraction

7 1/2 = 15/2

1 1/2 = 3/2

15/2 / 3/2

15/3

5

It will last 5 days
