Buchanan · Answer 1

180.6 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

240 4/5 = 240.8

240.8 / 4 = 60.2

60.2 x 3 = 180.6 lb

Zain Orozco · Answer 2

So we start of with Jack weighing in at 240 and 4/5 pounds (240.8). You start by multiplying 3/4 by the 240.8 lbs. This will give you 180.6 pounds. (Or 180 and 3/5 in fraction terms.)
