Answer:
4.27
Step-by-step explanation:
Shelby is collecting 15 1/2 pounds of Peebles for his geology experiment
She collects the pebbles in a bucket that holds 3 5/8 weight pounds
Therefore the number of buckets that will he required can be calculated as follows
= 15 1/2 ÷ 3 5/8
= 31/2 ÷ 29/8
= 31/2 × 8/29
= 124/29
= 4.27
