Darrell and Bruce are collecting clothes for a clothing drive. Bruce collected 7/10 as many clothes as Darrell did. If Darrell collected 1/3 of a bag of clothes, how many bags of clothes did Bruce collect?
Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.
To find out how many bags of clothes Bruce collected, we can start with the information given:
1. Darrell collected ( frac{1}{3} ) of a bag of clothes.
2. Bruce collected ( frac{7}{10} ) of what Darrell collected.
Now, we can calculate how much Bruce collected:
[
text{Amount Bruce collected} = frac{7}{10} times frac{1}{3}
]
Now, we multiply the fractions:
[
frac{7}{10} times frac{1}{3} = frac{7 times 1}{10 times 3} = frac{7}{30}
]
So, Bruce collected ( frac{7}{30} ) of a bag of clothes.
Final answer: Bruce collected ( frac{7}{30} ) of a bag of clothes.
