What we know:
- Bird feeder capacity: --> 2 4/5 cups
- Samantha's scoop capacity: --> 7/10 cups
Lets first convert the mixed partial fraction --> improper fraction
--> for easier calculation
After Conversion:
- Bird feeder capacity: --> 14/5 cups
- Samantha's scoop capacity: --> 7/10 cups
To find how many scoops of birdseed will Samantha put into the feeder we must:
--> divide the total capacity by the scoop's capacity
--> find the number of scoops:
Solve:
[tex]Total-number- of -scoops = \frac{\frac{14}{5} }{\frac{7}{10} } =\frac{14}{5} *\frac{10}{7} =\frac{14*10}{5*7} =\frac{14}{7} *\frac{10}{5} =2*2=4[/tex]
Thus the total number of scoops that Samantha will put into the bird feeder is 4
Answer: 4
Hope that helps!
