As Sally was shopping for a turkey tree for Thanksgiving, she looked at 48 trees. Of those, she found that 7/8 of them were too small. How many of the trees were too small?

Respuesta :

Answer:

42 trees

Step-by-step explanation:

48/1 x 7/8 = 6/1 x 7/1 (Simplify 48 and 8 because they have the common factor of 8)=42/1= 42

Answer:

Forty-two (42) of the trees were too small.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find 7/8 of 48.

[tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] = 0.875

Multiply the quotient (0.875) by 48 to find [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] of 48.

0.875 × 48 = 42
