Answered by Steve
clearly, (8 1/3)(1 1/5) = (25/3)(6/5) = ...
Answered by Ms. Sue
You can solve it with a proportion.

1/(8 1/3) = (1 1/5)/x

Cross multiply and solve for x.

x = (25/3) * (6/5)

x = 150/15

x = 10 pounds

thanks so much ms.sue for explaining it to me
Answered by Ms. Sue
You're welcome.
Answered by LOL surprise
Or, you could change the mixed numbers into improper fractions, then multiply, you would get 150/15. Then you would simplify. You would still get the same answer.
