Maggie bought 3 2/3 lb of apples to make some apple pies. What is the weight of the apples written as a decimal?
Answer:
3.66.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that bought 3 2/3 lb of apples to make some apple pies. We are asked to convert the weight of the apples as a decimal.
First of all, we will convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction as:
\(3\frac{2}{3}\Rightarrow\frac{3\times 3+2}{3}=\frac{9+2}{3}=\frac{11}{3}\)
\(\frac{11}{3}=3.666\)
Therefore, the given weight written as a decimal would be 3.66.
