Fabian harvest 10 pounds of tomatoes from his garden he needs two and 2/5 lb to make a batch of soup if he sets aside 2 and 8/10 lb of tomatoes to make spaghetti sauce how many batches of soup can Fabian make.

He can make 3 batches of soup.

Starting with 10 pounds of tomatoes and taking out the number of pounds he sets aside for spaghetti sauce, 2.8, we have:
10-2.8 = 7.2 pounds left.

0.2 is read as "two tenths," so 7.2 = 7 2/10

We divide this remaining number of pounds by 2 2/5 for each batch of soup:

7 2/10 ÷ 2 2/5

Convert each to an improper fraction:
72/10 ÷ 12/5

Multiply by the reciprocal:
72/10 × 5/12 = 360/120 = 3

i = 2 / - 5

step-by-step explanation:

evaluation of ( 2 - 4 ) ( p + q ) when p = 2 and q = 5 i, by putting values of p and q,                                                                    

0 = ( 2 - 4 ) ( p + q )0 = ( 2 - 4 ) ( 2 + 5 i ),   by multiplying these0 = ( 4 + 10 i - 8 - 20 i )0 = 4 - 8 + 10 i - 20 i0 = - 4 -10 i   0 = 2 ( - 2 - 5 i )0 / 2 = - 2 - 5 i- 2 - 5 i = 0- 5 i = 2i = 2 / - 5
