Answer:
Change in number of bushels after 6 days = 46.4 bushels.
Explanation:
A farmer has 140 bushels of wheat to sell at his roadside stand.
He sells an average of [tex]15\frac{3}{5}[/tex] bushels each day = [tex]\frac{15*5+3}{5} =\frac{78}{5}[/tex]bushels
Total number of bushels sold after 6 days = 6* [tex]\frac{78}{5}[/tex] = 93.6 bushels.
Change in number of bushels after 6 days = 140 - 93.6 = 46.4 bushels.
Answer: He has about 46 bushels left (46.4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to multiply the average sell of bushels per day (15 3/5) by the number of days stated (6):
Finally we have to subtract the number obtained to the number of bushels that the farmer had at the beginning.
He has about 46 bushels left (46.4)
