Question

Franco made a dozen muffins for his party. Upon taking them out of the oven, he noticed that 2 of the muffins were badly burned. Franco served 710 of the remaining muffins. Which equation shows the fraction of the non-burned muffins that remains? A. 1212−712=512 B. 1010−710=310 C. 1212−512=712 D. 1010−310=710

Answer 1

Answer:

10/10 - 7/10 = 3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Muffins made = 12

Burnt muffins = 2

Good muffins = 12 - 2 = 10

Franco served 7/10 of the remaining muffins

Muffins served = 7/10 × 10

= 7

Muffins unserved = 10 - 7 = 3

Fraction of the non burned muffins remaining = non burned muffins - served muffins

= 10/10 - 7/10

= 3/10

The answer is B
