Peter is working on a project that requires 8 1/4 tons of sod. If his truck only holds 1 1/2 tons, how
many trips will he need to make?
Need a step by step plz :/

Step-by-step explanation:

8 1/4 = 32/4 + 1/4 = 33/4

1 1/2 = 2/2 + 1/2 = 3/2

how many trips ? we need to see how often 3/2 fits into 33/4. that is a division

33/4 / 3/2

remember, dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying with the inserted fraction.

so,

33/4 / 3/2 = 33/4 × 2/3 = 33×2 / 4×3 = 33 / 2×3 = 11/2 =

5.5 or 5 1/2

so, it will take 5 1/2 truck loads of 6 trips (with the last one being only half full).

hello i am doing good for you that it's summer in your country or state ; )

btw in my country we just have sun and rain as (because i live in the caribbean lol)

also, thx a lot for the points : )

answer: 7 x 2/5 = 2.8 hours, is your answer. your welcome! : 3

step-by-step explanation: first work out how long it took to hose 1/7 of the lawn which is 2/5 hours. times that by 7 to get the whole lawn.

sorry i don't know the other answer. i didn't learn what a proportional relationship is.
