Question

A chef cooked 8 kilograms of mashed potatoes for a dinner party.if the guests only ate 6/8 of the amount he cooked, how much did they eat?

Answer 1

Hello!

Let's find what 1/8 of 8 kilograms is, because that'll help us find 6/8 of them.

Now, you can find 1/8 of 8 kilograms using many different ways, but I just prefer this one.

8 ÷ 8 = 1

Multiply this by the numerator of the fraction that represents how much that guests ate.

1 × 6 = 6

ANSWER:

The guests ate 6 kilograms of the food.

Answer 2

They answer is they ate 6 kilos! of the 8 kilos because you have to reduce 6/8 to 3/4 and 3/4 of 8 is 6.
