Answer 1

7 times

Step-by-step explanation:

4.2 tones, Just keep adding the numerator to itself, and count how many trips it took him - First, we can convert 4.2 to a fraction.

4$\frac{1}{5}$

Now we will keep adding to the given fraction until we receive that answer.

$\frac{3}{5}$

$\frac{6}{5}$ -  This is a incomplete fraction because the numerator is greater than denominator, You will have to minus the denominator from the numerator and make it a whole number.

1 $\frac{1}{5}$    - 1st time

1 $\frac{4}{5}$    - 2nd time

2$\frac{2}{5}$     -3rd time

3       -4th time

3 $\frac{3}{5}$    - 5th time   (Almost there)

4 $\frac{1}{5}$    - 6th time

4 $\frac{4}{5}$    - 7th time  (Done)

In total it took 7 trips. I hope this helps
