Convert 87/15 to a mixed number

5 4/5 (5 12/15 not reduced)

Step-by-step explanation:

15 will go into 87 5 times.

15x1 = 15. 15x2 = 30. 15x3 = 45. 15x4 = 60. 15x5 = 75. 15x6 = 90. 90 can not go into 87, so you have to work with 75. 87-75=12. So, now your answer is

5 12/15. You are able to divide each of those numbers by 3, so let’s reduce. 12 divided by 3 is 4, and 15 divided by 3 is 5. So your reduced answer is 5 4/5. Hope that helped.

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
