Answer 1

Answer:

10 sundaes will be vanilla.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Fernando is making 30 sundaes with mint, chocolate,and vanilla ice cream.

1/3 of the Sunday's are mint ice-cream.

And 1/2 of the remaining sundaes are chocolate.

The rest are vanilla.

Now, to find the number of sundaes that will be vanilla.

Fernando is making sundaes total = 30.

So, the quantity of sundaes that are mint ice-cream:

$\frac{1}{3} \ of\ 30\\\\=\frac{1}{3} \times 30\\\\=10.$

Thus, 10 sundaes are mint ice-cream.

So, the remaining sundaes are:

$30-10=20.$

Thus, the remaining sundaes are = 20.

Now, to get the quantity of chocolate sundaes of the remaining sundaes:

$\frac{1}{2} \ of\ 20\\\\=\frac{1}{2} \times 20\\\\=10.$

Hence, 10 sundaes are chocolate of the remaining 20 sundaes.

As, given the rest are vanilla.

Now, to get the vanilla sundaes we subtract the 10 chocolate ice-cream from the 20 remaining sundaes:

$20-10=10.$

Therefore, 10 sundaes will be vanilla.
