Question

Nick likes to use 12 of a chocolate bar to make a s'more Tasha will only eat a s'more that is made with exactly 25 of a chocolate bar what fraction of a chocolate bar will nick and Tasha use in total if they each eat one s'more

Answer 1

Question:

Nick and Tasha are buying supplies for a camping trip. They need to buy chocolate bars to make s’mores, their favorite campfire dessert. Each of them has a different recipe for their perfect s’more. Nick likes to use 1/2 of a chocolate bar to make a s’more. Tasha will only eat a s’more that is made with exactly 2/5 of a chocolate bar.

Answer:

The fraction of a chocolate bar will Nick and Tasha will use in total if they each eat one s'more is $\frac{9}{10}$ bar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are meant to learn how to add fractions and to know about the essence of a common denominator

The portion of the chocolate that Nick makes an s'more with is 1/2

The portion of the chocolate that Tasha makes an s'more with is 2/5

Therefore the fraction of the chocolate bar Nick and Tasha use in total if they each eat one s'more is 1/2 + 2/5

Where $\frac{1}{2}$ + $\frac{2}{5}$  multiplying the fraction $\frac{1}{2}$ by $\frac{5}{5}$ and  $\frac{2}{5}$  by  $\frac{2}{2}$ wee have

$\frac{5}{5}$× $\frac{1}{2}$ + $\frac{2}{2}$× $\frac{2}{5}$  =   $\frac{5}{10}$ +  $\frac{4}{10}$ =  $\frac{9}{10}$ bar

Therefore the fraction of the chocolate bar that would be left is

1 bar -  $\frac{9}{10}$ bar = $\frac{1}{10}$ bar.

Answer 2

Here is the complete question

Nick and Tasha are buying supplies for a camping trip. They need to buy chocolate bars to make s’mores, their favorite campfire dessert. Each of them has a different recipe for their perfect s’more. Nick likes to use 1/2 of a chocolate bar to make a s’more. Tasha will only eat a s’more that is made with exactly 2/5 of a chocolate bar.

Answer:

Both Nick and Tacha will use 9/10 of the chocolate bar

Step-by-step explanation:

Nicks share of the chocolate bar is 1/2(fraction of the chocolate bar need to make the s'more

And Tasha requires 2/5 to make her own s'more.

Then if both of them share a single chocolate bar,then it will be:

2/5(Tasha's share) + 1/2(Nick's share)

= 9/10 of a single chocolate bar will be used.

In case they were interested to know the amount remaining, it will be:

1 - 9/10 = 1 1/10
