Question

At lunch time, Jeff often borrows money from his friends to buy snacks in the school cafeteria. Jeff borrowed $0.75 from his friend Keith five days last week to buy ice cream bars. Represent the amount Jeff borrowed as the product of two rational numbers; then, determine how much Jeff owe his friend last week. Plz I will give you 100 points

Answer 1

Answer: a) The amount Jeff owe his friend= $5\times0.75$→ Product of rationals

The amount Jeff owe his friend= $3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The amount borrowed by Jeff per day= $0.75

So, the amount borrowed by Jeff in 5 days (in dollars)= $5\times0.75$

Here we got the  amount borrowed by Jeff in 5 days (in dollars) as a product of rationals $5\times0.75$, where 5 and 0.75 both are rational numbers.

Now, by multiplication we get that the amount borrowed by Jeff in 5 days (in dollars)=$3.75
