Question

Marianne buys 16 bags of potting soil that comes i 5/8 pounds bags. How many pounds of potting soil does Marianne buy?

Answer 1

$16 \times 5upon8$
10

Answer 2

so the question wants you to multiply the mass of each bag by 16 or 5/8 times 16 we can multiply the top and bottom numbers like this lets say 1/2 times 3/4, we multiply 1 and 3 and 2 and 4 and get (1 times 3)/(2 times 4) or 3/8 so 16 times 5/8=16/1 times 5/8 which is (16 times 5)/8=80/8=40/4=20/2=10/1=10 she bought 10 pouunds of potting soil
