Question

A group of students is performing in experiment with so each student and 3/8 teaspoon of salt to a solution the group only has a 1/8 teaspoon Measuring spoon down many times were so cramped need to fill the measuring spoon in order to perform the experiment

Answer 1

Answer:

12 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Attached is the complete question.

Given: Each student must add 3/8 teaspoon of salt to a solution.

           The group only has a 1/8 teaspoon measuring spoon.

Lets assume number of times spoon each students need to fill be "x" to get $\frac{3}{8} \ teaspoon$ for performing experiment.

Now finding the number of times each students need to fill the measuring spoon.

⇒ $\frac{1}{8} \times x= \frac{3}{8}$

Multiplying both side by 8

⇒ $x= \frac{3\times 8}{8}= 3$

∴ x= 3 .

Hence, each students need to fill 3 times teaspoon to perform experiment.

As given there are 4 students in the group, therefore each will add 3 teaspoon to perform experiment.

∴ Total number of times teaspoon to be added = $number\ of\ spoon\ by\ each\ student\times total\ number\ of\ students$

Total number of teaspoon to be added= $3\times 4= 12$

∴ 12 number of times teaspoon need to fill the measuring spoon in order to perform experiment.
