lisa collected 1 2/3 bottles of glass. Lisa collected 1 1/2 more than melissa. how many bottles did lisa collect

Answer 1

To determine how many bottles Lisa collected, you would multiply 1 2/3 by 1 1/2.

First convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions; 1 2/3 = 5/3 AND 1/ 1/2 = 3/2

Then 5/3 * 3/2 = 15/6 OR 5/2

Also 5/3 is equivalent to 2 1/2

Lisa collected 2 and 1/2 bottles.
