Answer:
[tex]9\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To find many more pounds of apples Kimane and his friend needs to get, we first need to find out how many pounds of apples they picked together.
Kimane = [tex]4\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]
Friend = [tex]5\dfrac{5}{6}[/tex]
We add them together to find out how many pounds of apples they currently have.
Total Pounds = [tex]4\dfrac{2}{3}+5\dfrac{5}{6}[/tex]
Just to make the equation clearer, we separate the whole numbers from the fractions.
[tex]=4+5+\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{5}{6}[/tex]
[tex]=9+\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{5}{6}[/tex]
Now since we cannot add the 2 fractions directly since they have different denominators, we need to convert the [tex]/dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] into a fraction with the same denominator.
We multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 to have the same denominator.
[tex]\dfrac{2*2}{3*2}=\dfrac{4}{6}[/tex]
So now we have:
[tex]=9+\dfrac{4}{6}+\dfrac{5}{6}[/tex]
[tex]=9+\dfrac{9}{6}or1\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Total Pounds = 10\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
Now that we know how many pounds Kimane and his friend collected, we simply subtract 20 and the total amount Kimane and his friend had already collected.
[tex]20-10\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]=9\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
So Kimane and his friend still need to get [tex]9\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] more pounds of apples to get 20 pounds of apples.
