Chris purchased 15 1/2 pounds of apples. He used 2 1/3 pounds to make turnovers and 4 3/4 pounds to make apple pies. How many pounds does he have left
he have left?

Chris has approximately pounds of apples left.

Step-by-step explanation:

We first want to find out how many pounds of flour he used to make both the apple pies and turnovers.

To do this, we must add .

In order to add them, we must get common denominators by multiplying one of the fractions until both of them have the same denominator. For this, we will shoot for 12.

What number do we multiply 3 by to get 12? 4

What number do we multiply 4 by to get 12? 3

If we multiplied the first fraction's denominator by 4, we must do the same for the numerator. This means 1 x 4 = 4.

If we multiplied the second fraction's denominator by 3, we must do the same for the numerator. This means that 3 x 3 = 9.

Now our fractions look like this:  

Now if we add them, including the whole numbers, we get

Now we must take the total pounds of apples and subtract it by the pounds he used:

We need common denominators again, this time, just mess with the first fraction to make your common denominator 12.

What number do we multiply 2 by to get 12? 6

Now we have this:   =

Therefore, Chris has 8 5/12 pounds of apples left. Hope this helped!

if gloria has "carry over" minutes, (that is, any minutes paid for but not used in a month can be applied to her payment for minutes in the next month,) her total usage for the three months is: total minutes = 320 + 243 + 489 = 1052 minutes number of 200 minute blocks = 1052/200 = 5 r52 (that is 5 with a remainder of 52) rounding up the number of 200 minute blocks gives her usage for the three months as 6 blocks. the cost for six blocks is 6 x $25 = $150 she also has 200 - 52 or 148 carry over minutes if gloria pays each month and unused minutes are lost, applying the rounding up procedure to each month gives: first month usage of 320 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 second month usage of 243 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 third month usage of 489 minutes rounds up to 3 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 3 x $25 = $75 total payments for the three months are $50 + $50 + $75 = $175 get the plan with carry over minutes!
