Carter has a fruit stand. In the morning, he has 25 1/2 pounds of peaches. He sells bags of peaches that each weigh 1 1/2 pounds. He will restock when he has less than 3 pounds of peaches left. Which solution represents how many bas of peaches, b, Carter will sell before he restocks?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Carter will sell 17 bags of peaches before he restocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total pounds of peaches Carter have = [tex]25\frac{1}{2} = \frac{51}{2} = 25.5[/tex]

Weight of each bag = [tex]1\frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5[/tex] pound

Number of bag made = [tex]\frac{25.5}{1.5}[/tex]  = 17

The number is fully divided , it means no of peaches left = 0 < 3

So,

Carter will sell 17 bags of peaches before he restocks.

The number of bas of peaches, b, Carter will sell before he restocks is 17.

Calculation of the number of peaches:

Since he has 25 1/2 pounds of peaches. He sells bags of peaches that each weigh 1 1/2 pounds. He will restock when he has less than 3 pounds of peaches left.

So here

[tex]= 25.5 \div 1.5[/tex]

= 17
