You track fuel accounts for q shipping line. One vessel consumes 2 1/2 tons of fuel per day during transport. About how many fuel in tons should the vessel consume during 15-day transport?

For this case, the first thing we must do is rewrite the expression:

2 1/2

Rewriting we have:

2.5 ton / day

The total amount after 15 days is:

(2.5) * (15) = 37.5 Ton

Rewriting we have:

37 1/2 Ton

Answer:

the vessel should consume 37 1/2 Ton during 15-day transport
