The first question asks who sold more rolls. So start with figuring out how many Christie sold.
5 total - 1 2/3 left = 3 1/3 sold
you can convert the numbers to improper fractions with the same denominator. Like this:
5 x (3/3) - (3+2)/3
15/3 - 5/3 = 10/3
10/3 = 3 1/3
So now we know Christie sold more because 3 1/3 dozen is more than 2 1/2 dozen.
The part asks how many more.. Subtract the amounts the two girls sold.
3 1/3 - 2 1/2
10/3 x (2/2) - 5/2 x (3/3)
20/6 - 15/6 = 5/6
Christie sold 5/6 dozen more rolls. A dozen is 12 rolls so if you wanted to go further you just multiply 12 x 5/6 = 10 rolls
Answer:
Chocolate cones = x = 167 cones
Vanilla cones = y = 334 cones
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
The number of Chocolate cones = x
Vanilla cones = y
Ike's igloo sold 501 ice cream cones today.
x + y = 501.... Equation 1
They sold half as many chocolate ice cream cone as vanilla ones.
x = 1/2y
x = y/2
Cross multiply
y = 2x
We substitute 2x for y in Equation 1
x + 2x = 501
3x = 501
x = 501/3
x = 167
Solving for y
y = 2x
y = 2 × 167
y = 334
Therefore,
The number of
Chocolate cones = x = 167 cones
Vanilla cones = y = 334 cones
