Lars has 10

baskets of vegetables. Each basket contains 112lb
of vegetables. What is the total weight of all the vegetables in the baskets? Convert the answer to a mixed number.

1 answer

To find the total weight of all the vegetables in the baskets, we need to multiply the number of baskets by the weight of each basket.

10 baskets * 112lb/basket = 1120lb

So, the total weight of all the vegetables in the baskets is 1120 pounds.

We can convert this answer to a mixed number by dividing the total weight by 100 to get the whole number part, and using the remainder as the numerator in a fraction with the denominator of the original unit (1 pound).

1120lb รท 100 = 11 remainder 20

The mixed number representation is 11 20/100 pounds.

However, we can simplify the fraction by reducing it to lowest terms.

20/100 can be divided by 20 (both numerator and denominator) to get 1/5.

So, the simplified mixed number representation is 11 1/5 pounds.
