Answer:
The number of dozens of strawberries ordered on Tuesday is [tex]14\frac{7}{8}[/tex] dozen
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of strawberries picked on Monday = 3 1/2 dozen
Now, [tex]3\frac{1}{2} = 3 + \frac{1}{2} = 3 + 0.5 = 3.5[/tex]
So, the dozen of strawberries picked by workers on Monday = 3.5 dozen
Now, the amount of strawberries picked on Tuesday
= 4 1/4 times ( Strawberries picked on Monday)
Also, [tex]4\frac{1}{4} = 4 + \frac{1}{4} = 4 + 0.25 = 4.25[/tex]
So, the strawberries picked on Tuesday = 4.25 x ( 3.5 dozen)
= 14.875 dozen
[tex] 14.875 = 14 + 0.875 = 14 + \frac{875}{1000} = 14 + \frac{7}{8} = 14\frac{7}{8}[/tex]
Hence, the number of dozens of strawberries ordered on Tuesday = [tex]14\frac{7}{8}[/tex]
