Answer:

5 scoops

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Feeder = 4\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Scoop = \frac{9}{10}[/tex]

Required

Determine the number of scoop in a feeder

To do this, we simply divide the size of the feeder by the size of the scoop as follows;

[tex]Number = \frac{Feeder}{Scoop}[/tex]

[tex]Number = 4\frac{1}{2}/\frac{9}{10}[/tex]

Convert Fractions to improper

[tex]Number = \frac{9}{2}/\frac{9}{10}[/tex]

[tex]Number = \frac{9}{2}*\frac{10}{9}[/tex]

[tex]Number = \frac{9 * 10}{2 * 9}[/tex]

[tex]Number = \frac{90}{18}[/tex]

[tex]Number = 5[/tex]

Hence, there are 5 scoops in a feeder
