Respuesta :
what we need to know is how much is 1/3 of 25 2/5.
We will be multiplying fraction by a fraction and for this, it's good to change mixed numbers into improper fractions:
25 2/5=[tex] \frac{23*5+2}{5}= \frac{117}{5} [/tex]
and now we multiply it by 1/3:
[tex] \frac{1}{3}\frac{117}{5}=\frac{39}{5}=7\frac{4}{5} [/tex]
and that's the answer: the basketball equipment weights 7 4/5 pounds.
