A large bag or sugar weighs 7 1/2 lb. Gow Much does 1 1/4 bags of sugar weighs

Answer:
The correct option is 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the weight of a large bag of sugar is [tex]7\frac{1}{2}[/tex]. This complex fraction can be written as
[tex]7\frac{1}{2}=\frac{14+1}{2}=\frac{15}{2}[/tex]
So, the weight of a large bag of sugar is [tex]\frac{15}{2}[/tex].
The number of bags is [tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex]. It means the number of bags is number of bags is [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex].
[tex]1\text{ Bag}=\frac{15}{2}\text{ lb}[/tex]
Multiply both side by [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex].
[tex]1\times \frac{5}{4}\text{ Bag}=\frac{15}{2}\times \frac{5}{4}\text{ lb}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{4}\text{ Bag}=\frac{75}{8}\text{ lb}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{4}\text{ Bag}=9\frac{3}{8}\text{ lb}[/tex]
Therefore correct option is 4.
Answer:
(3)
[tex]9\frac{3}{8}lb[/tex]
(4)
6÷[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]=[tex]30[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
(5)
we are given
1 bag of sugar is
[tex]=7\frac{1}{2}lb=\frac{2\times 7+1}{2}lb=\frac{15}{2}lb[/tex]
we have to find weigh of 1 1/4 bags of sugar
we can multiply both sides by 1 1/4
[tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex] bags of sugar
[tex]=1\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{15}{2}lb[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{5}{4}\times \frac{15}{2}lb[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{75}{8}lb[/tex]
we can write in mixed form
[tex]=9\frac{3}{8}lb[/tex]
(4)
we are given
6÷[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
we know that
a÷[tex]\frac{b}{c}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{a\times c}{b}[/tex]
now, we can use formula
6÷[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{6\times 5}{1}[/tex]
6÷[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]=[tex]30[/tex]
