Problema Solution
A farmer has 120 bushels of beans for sale at a farmers market. He sells an average of 15 3/4 bushels each day. After 6 days, what is the change in the total number of bushels the farmer has for sale at the farmers market?
Answer provided by our tutors
15 3/4 = (15*4 + 3)/4 = 63/4
6*(63/4) = 3*63/2 = 189/2 = 94 1/2 bushels
The change in the total number of bushels is 94 1/2 bushels.
