Answer:
number of harvested tomatoes - 5 ½ kilograms
number of tomatoes sold - ¾
What mathematical sentence is applicable to the problem?
¾ × 5 ½ kg = N
*Since the tomatoes sold is ¾ of the harvested tomatoes, you have to get ¾ of 5 ½ kg. The word "of" means to multiply.
Show your solution with complete label/unit.
¾ × 5 ½ kg
*Change the mixed number to an improper fraction. Multiply the denominator by the whole number, then add the numerator. Use the same denominator.
= ¾ × 11⁄2 kg
*Multiply the numerators across and the denominators across.
= 33⁄8 kg
*Simplify by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
= 4 ⅛ kg
