Question

Kenny uses 1/16 of the chocolate syrup bottle for every scoop of ice cream that he eats . How many scoops of ice cream has Kenny eaten if he has used 2 3/4 bottles of chocolate syrup?

Answer 1

Answer:

Kenny has eaten 44 ice cream scoops.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Kenny uses $\frac{1}{16}$ of the chocolate syrup bottle for every scoop of ice cream that he eats.

Now, to find the scoops of ice cream Kenny has eaten, If he has used $2\frac{3}{4}$  bottles of chocolate syrup.

So, we use unitary method to find the number of scoops of ice cream:

If, $\frac{1}{16}$ of the chocolate syrup bottle Kenny uses to eat = $1\ ice\ cream\ scoop.$

Then, 1 of the chocolate syrup bottle Kenny uses to eat  $=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{16} } =16\ ice\ cream\ scoops.$

Thus, $2\frac{3}{4}$  bottles of chocolate syrup bottle Kenny uses to eat = $16\times 2\frac{3}{4}$

$=16\times \frac{11}{4}$

$=16\times 2.75$

$=44\ ice\ cream\ scoops.$

Therefore, Kenny has eaten 44 ice cream scoops.
