Question
Every day, Maureen's orange juice stand uses 2 bags of oranges. How many days will 3/4 of a bag of oranges last?Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number. days
Solution
Sure, here's how you can solve this problem:
-
First, determine how many bags of oranges Maureen uses in a day. According to the problem, she uses 2 bags of oranges every day.
-
Next, you need to find out how many days 1 bag of oranges will last. Since 2 bags last 1 day, 1 bag will last 1/2 of a day (1 divided by 2).
-
Finally, to find out how many days 3/4 of a bag of oranges will last, multiply 1/2 (the number of days 1 bag lasts) by 3/4 (the amount of a bag you have).
So, (1/2) * (3/4) = 3/8.
Therefore, 3/4 of a bag of oranges will last 3/8 of a day.
