Sierra collected 39 seashells before breakfast and 2 1/3 times as many after breakfast. How many seashells did Sierra collect in all?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

hi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 1/3 is a mixed number

OpenStudy (misty1212):

i think you are supposed to multiplyi

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[39\times 2\tfrac{1}{3}\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

they are a couple ways you can do this

OpenStudy (misty1212):

you can multiply \(39\times 2\) then \(39\times \frac{1}{3}\) then add them up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!! so the answer is 91?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

or you can turn \(2\tfrac{1}{3}\) in to \(\frac{7}{3}\) then multiply \[39\times \frac{7}{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you !!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

yes you are right dear, it is i91
