Claire collected river water for an experiment. She poured it into 8 jars. Each jar had the mixed number three and one half pints of water. What is the total amount of river water Claire collected?

Respuesta :

Answer: 28 pints of river water.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 1/2 can be represented a decimal by calculating the fraction and adding it to the whole number. In this case, it is 3 + 0.5, or 3.5 pints of water in each jar.

You can then multiply this number by the amount of jars, 8, to get the total number of pints Claire collected.
