Question

cartons of blueberries, of which he uses \3/5
for the first batch of pies. How many cartons of blueberries does Mike use for the first batch of pies?

Answer 1

To find how many cartons of blueberries Mike uses for the first batch of pies, we first need to calculate 4 1/10 divided by 5 to find 1/5 of the blueberries.

4 1/10 divided by 5 = (41/10) / 5 = 41/10 * 1/5 = 41/50

So Mike uses 41/50 cartons of blueberries for the first batch of pies.
