Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction or as a whole or mixed number.


Sagot :

                     7
Kimi  sold  3  ---  boxes
                    10
       3 * 10 + 7        30 + 7
=    ----------------  = -----------
         10                   10

     37
=  ----
    10

Tyler sold  two times Kimi.  So Tyler sold


=    37                37 * 2
     -----  * 2    =  -----------
     10                  10

       37 * 2          37
=    ---------   =    ------         OR
       5 * 2            5

         2
=  7  ----
         5


Kimi's sales = 3.7 boxes

Tyler's sales = 2 x Kimi's sales = (2 x 3.7 boxes) = 7.4 boxes

That's  7 and 4/10  or  7 and 2/5 boxes.
