Question: The coffee pub has cans of coffee that weigh [tex]3\frac{1}{4}[/tex] pounds each. The pub has [tex]8\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cans of coffee left. What is the total weight of [tex]8\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cans?
Solve For: The total weight of [tex]8\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cans.
Steps: Multiply to find total weight of [tex]8\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cans.
[tex]3\frac{1}{4}[/tex] × [tex]8\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{13}{4}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{17}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{221}{8}[/tex]
= [tex]27\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
