Answer: [tex]\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex] pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Emily is buying [tex]\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex] of a pound of beans for dinner.
Ricki is buying [tex]1\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex] of the amount of beans that Emily is buying.
Here, [tex]1\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex] can be written as [tex]\dfrac{4+3}{4}=\dfrac{7}{4}[/tex]
Then, the amount of beans bought by Ricky is given by :_
[tex]\dfrac{7}{4}\times\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex]
Hence, Rick is buying [tex]\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex] pounds.
