Mrs. ruiz bought 4 4/5 lbs of strawberries. she used 3/4 of them to bake a pie for dessert. how many lbs of strawberries did she use?

3 3/5 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

4 4/5 = (5*4+4)/5 = 24/5

24/5 * 3/4 =

I will change the order to make the math easier

24/4 * 3/5

6 * 3/5 =

18/5

5 goes into 18   3 times with 3 left over

3 3/5 lbs

She used 3 3/5 lbs
