The answer is 1 in the series
The answer would be 331 weeks rounded. Just divide.
<span>With the bag having 4/5 lb currently in it, this can be translated to 16/20 lb. Maria wants to scoop out sand until the bag has 1/2 lb, which is 10/20 lb. The scoop that Maria uses is 1/20 lb, so using the equation of 16-10 = 6, Maria can get 6 scoops of sand before the bag contains 1/2 lb.</span>
For this question, you need to understand how to divide fractions.First we line up our fractions appropriately:
4/9 ÷ 4/5 = ? (You want to divide 4/9 by 4/5)
4/9 × 5/4 = ? (Now we use the reciprocal of 4/5 and multiply instead of divide)
4 x 5 = 20 and 9 x 4 = 36. (Cross multiply.)
20/36 = 5/9. (Simplify to lowest terms.)
So, 4/9 divided by 4/5 is 5/9!But 5/9 is more than 4/9, so the answer is 0 :PCorrect me if I'm wrong.
