a) Marianne **buys **10 pounds of potting soil.
b) She need 5 additional bags.
What is the difference between the numerator and denominator of a fraction?
A fraction's numerator is the term that appears above the vinculum. It illustrates how many parts we have in total. A fraction's denominator is the term that appears below the vinculum. It reveals how many parts there are in all of us. A fraction's denominator and numerator are its top and bottom respective numbers.
The two numbers, which are separated by a line, are referred to as the numerator and the denominator, respectively. The line simply divides the **numerator **from the denominator and can be horizontal or slanted to mean either.
Given:
Marianne buys 16 bags of potting soil that comes in 5/8 pound bags.
a) 16 × 5 / 8 = 80 / 8 = 10
Marianne buys 10 pounds of potting soil.
b) She has 10 pounds, so she need bags only for 3 ponds.
3 : 5 / 8 = 3 × 8 / 5 = 24 / 5 = 4.8
She need 5 additional bags.
The complete question is:
Marianne buys 16 bags of potting soil that comes in 5/8 pound bags.
a) How many pounds of potting soil does Marianne buy?
b) If Marianne's father calls and says he needs 13 pounds of potting soil, how many additional bags should she buy?

To find out how many additional bags of potting soil Marianne needs, identify how much weight she currently has from her purchased bags. If she does not meet the required 13 pounds, calculate the deficit and determine how many additional bags are necessary based on their weight. If she already has enough weight, then she does not need to purchase any extra bags.
