every week, a cat shelter requires $6\frac{1}{3}$ pounds of cat food. how many pounds do they use in one year? (there are 52 weeks in a year). simplify your answer and write it as a mixed number.
$23\frac{2}{3}$ pounds
$58\frac{1}{3}$ pounds
$329\frac{1}{3}$ pounds
$\frac{988}{3}$ pounds

Explanation:

Step1: Convert mixed number to improper fraction

$6\frac{1}{3} = \frac{6\times3 + 1}{3} = \frac{19}{3}$

Step2: Multiply by number of weeks

$\frac{19}{3} \times 52 = \frac{19\times52}{3} = \frac{988}{3}$

Step3: Convert to mixed number

$\frac{988}{3} = 329\frac{1}{3}$

Answer:

329$\frac{1}{3}$ pounds
