Ronna collected [tex]12\frac{3}{4}[/tex] bags of clothes
Step-by-step explanation:
Tristan and Ronna are collecting clothes for a clothing drive
We need to find how many bags of clothes  Ronna collected
∵ Ronna collected 3 times as many clothes as Tristan did
- That means Ronna collected 3 × the amount that Tristan did
∵ Tristan collected [tex]4\frac{1}{4}[/tex] bags
- Multiply the amount of Tristan by 3 to find the amount of Ronna
∴ Ronna collected = 3 × [tex]4\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Change the mixed number to improper fraction
∵ [tex]4\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{(4*4)+1}{4}=\frac{17}{4}[/tex]
∴ Ronna collected = 3 × [tex]\frac{17}{4}[/tex]
∴ Ronna collected = [tex]\frac{51}{4}[/tex]
Change the improper fraction to mixed number by divide 51 by 4
∵ 51 ÷ 4 = 12 and reminder 3 (4 × 12 = 48 and 51 - 48 = 3)
∴ [tex]\frac{51}{3}=12\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
∴ Ronna collected = [tex]12\frac{3}{4}[/tex] bags of clothes
Ronna collected [tex]12\frac{3}{4}[/tex] bags of clothes
