heather bought a carton of laundry detergent that contains 195 ounces each load of laundry uses 2 1/2 ounces how many loads of laundry can heather complete with one carton of detergent

Answer 1

To find out how many loads of laundry Heather can complete with one carton of detergent, you need to divide the total ounces of detergent by the ounces used per load.

1. Convert 2 1/2 ounces to a decimal: \[ 2 \frac{1}{2} = 2 + \frac{1}{2} = 2 + 0.5 = 2.5 , \text{ounces} \]

2. Divide the total ounces of detergent by the ounces used per load: \[ \frac{195 , \text{ounces}}{2.5 , \text{ounces/load}} = 78 , \text{loads} \]

So, Heather can complete 78 loads of laundry with one carton of detergent.
