Answer:
number of days = 2.8 days
Step-by-step explanation:
A container at a juicing plants holds 4 2/3 tons of oranges . The plant can juice 1 2/3 tons of oranges per day . The number of days it will take to empty the container can be calculated as follows:
Firstly, convert the whole number fractions to improper fractions
The container holds 4 2/3 = 14/3 tons of orange
The plant can juice 1 2/3 = 5/3 tons of oranges per day
5/3 tons of oranges = 1 day
14/3 tons of oranges = ? days
cross multiply
number of days = 14/3 ÷ 5/3
number of days = 14/3 × 3/5
number of days = 14/5
number of days = 2.8 days
