Question

Darien's shopping trip consists of 3 2/3 pounds of potatoes, 1 7/8 pounds of green beans and 4 1/2 pounds of onions. How many more pounds does he need to make exactly 10 pounds?

Answer 1

Explanation:

= 10 - (3 2/3 + 1 7/8 + 4 1/2)

= 10 - (3.67 + 1.875 + 4.5)

= 10 - (10.045)

= -0.045 pounds

Darien can not take on any more stuff. He rather has to lose 0.045pounds to have exactly 10 pounds
