To find out how many trays of chocolate donuts Katy's Donut Shop sold, we first need to determine the number of trays of cinnamon donuts sold.
Given that they sold 3 1/3 trays of cinnamon donuts, we convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
3 1/3 = (3*3 + 1)/3 = 10/3 trays
Next, we know that they sold 1 1/4 times as many chocolate donuts as cinnamon donuts. So, we first find 1 1/4:
1 1/4 = (1*4 + 1)/4 = 5/4
Now, to find the number of trays of chocolate donuts sold, we multiply the number of trays of cinnamon donuts by 5/4:
10/3 * 5/4 = (10*5)/(3*4) = 50/12 = 4 1/6
Therefore, Katy's Donut Shop sold 4 1/6 trays of chocolate donuts.
Yesterday, Katy's Donut Shop sold 1 1/4
times as many chocolate donuts as cinnamon donuts. If they sold 3 1/3
trays of cinnamon donuts, how many trays of chocolate donuts did they sell?
