Answer:
54.74 ounces of tomatoes mark need.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Mark has three [tex]4\frac{1}{2}[/tex] oz cans and five [tex]8\frac{1}{4}[/tex] oz cans.
To find : How many ounces of tomatoes does Mark need?
Solution :
Mark has three [tex]4\frac{1}{2}[/tex] oz cans.
i.e. [tex]3\times 4\frac{1}{2}=3\times \frac{9}{2}=\frac{27}{2}[/tex]
Mark has five [tex]8\frac{1}{4}[/tex] oz cans.
i.e. [tex]5\times 8\frac{1}{4}=5\times \frac{33}{4}=\frac{165}{4}[/tex]
Total ounces of tomatoes does Mark need is
[tex]T=\frac{27}{2}+\frac{165}{4}[/tex]
[tex]T=\frac{54+165}{4}[/tex]
[tex]T=\frac{219}{4}[/tex]
[tex]T=54.75[/tex]
Therefore, 54.74 ounces of tomatoes mark need.
