The farmer sells 15⅝ bushels each day for 7 days.
To find the total number of bushels the farmer sells in 7 days, we multiply the daily amount by the number of days:
15⅝ bushels/day * 7 days = 109⅝ bushels
To find the change in the total number of bushels the farmer has for sale, we subtract the quantity sold from the starting amount:
120 bushels - 109⅝ bushels = 10⅜ bushels
Therefore, the signed number representing the change in the total number of bushels the farmer has for sale is -10⅜ bushels.
A farmer has 120 bushels of con for sale at a farmer's market. He sells an average of 15&5/8
bushels each day. After 7 days, what is the change in the total number of bushels the farmer has for sale at the farmer's market?
