Roma tomatoes can produce up to 150 tomatoes per plant. if marium plants 5 plants and expects to lose 6% of her crop, how many tomatoes will marium have?

Marium will have 705 tomatoes remaining

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine the rate of production per plant

Roma tomatoes produces=150 tomatoes per plant

Step 2: Determine total number of tomatoes to be produced

The expected number of tomatoes to be produced before accounting for the losses can be expressed as;

Total tomatoes=number of tomatoes per plant×number of plants

where;

Number of tomatoes per plant=150

number of plants=5

replacing;

Total tomatoes=(150×5)=750 plants

Total tomatoes=750 plants

Step 3: Expected loses

The total number of tomatoes she expects to lose can be expressed as;

Total number of tomatoes lost=expected loss×total tomatoes

where;

expected loss=6%

total tomatoes=750

replacing;

Total number of tomatoes lost=(6/100)×750=45 tomatoes

Total number of tomatoes lost=45

Step 4: Remaining tomatoes after loss

The remaining number of tomatoes when we account for the quantity lost can be expressed as;

Remaining number of tomatoes=Total number of tomatoes-total number of tomatoes lost

where;

total number of tomatoes=750

total number of tomatoes lost=45

replacing;

Remaining number of tomatoes=(750-45)=705 tomatoes

Marium will have 705 tomatoes remaining

b) 1/3 * 1/5

step-by-step explanation:

each smallest part is 1/15 since the written one is 1/5 and it's divided by 3 equal parts. (1/5 )/3 = 1/15 = 1/3 * 1/5

1/3 + 1/3 ≠ 2/6 because 1/3 alone = 2/6  

step by step explanation:

1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3       2/3=4/6
