A construction worker needs 3 2/3 pounds of concrete mix. He has 1 1/2 pounds of concrete mix in one bag, and he has 3 1/0 pound of concrete mix in another bag. How many more pounds of concrete mix does the construction worker need?
What is 3 1/0 supposed to be ????
Hmm i think it is 3 1/10 maybe?
If he has 1 1/2 pounds and another 3 1/10 pounds, he has (1 1/2 + 3 1/10) pounds = (4 + 1/2 + 1/10) pounds
1/2 + 1/10 (using the common denominator of 10) = 5/10 + 1/10 = 6/10
So, he has 4 3/5 pounds; this is more than he needs.
You are correct! But that is assuming that it is 3 1/10
