Hobbes · Answer 1

1.) 1/4*6/1=6/4=3/2

simplified it equals 1 1/2

2.) 2 1/2*3/1

for me i would make 2 1/2 into an improper fraction so:

5/2*6/1=30/2=15/1

15/1 equals 15

1.) the cat ate 1 1/2 cup of cat food

2.) the piece of lumber was 15 feet long

1) 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 1 Cup and a half.
