A landscaper delivered 9/10 ton of mulch to a job site. Workers spread 1/3 of this amount around trees. What amount did the workers spread around trees?

Respuesta :

Data

• Total: 9/10 ton

,

• Spread: 1/3 of the total

Procedure

We have that the initial amount was 9/10 ton, and the workers spread 1/3 of the total amount. To know how much this amount is we have to multiply the fractions as follows:

[tex]\frac{9}{10}\times\frac{1}{3}=\frac{9\times1}{10\times3}[/tex]

Simplifying:

[tex]=\frac{9}{30}[/tex][tex]=\frac{3}{10}[/tex]

Answer: 3/10 ton
