Question

A type of bolt weight is about 3/16 once.If a collection of these bolts weights 6 3/4 pounds,how many bolts are in the collection?Please Explain.

Answer 1

You should turn 6 3/4 into an improper fraction, which is 27/4, and then divide 27/4 by 3/16. (Hint: take the reciprocal of 3/16 (Make 3/16 into 16/3) and then multiply the fractions.) :)
