Question

The hat company received a shipment of 60 novelty baseball caps. Of the caps, 1/3 had bug antenna, 2/5 had moose antlers, and the rest had plastic propellers. How many of the caps had plastic propellers

Answer 1

Answer:

18 plastic propellers, 18 Bug Antenna, 24 moose antlers,

Step-by-step explanation:

When we multiply our total sum of 60 by certain decimal values by converting the factions to decimals we can get each type of hats count.

1/3 works out to be 0.30

60×0.3 = 18

2/5 works out to be 0.40

60×0.4 = 24

To find out the remaining amount that is plastic propellers you subtract the added hats and the total value.

60 - (18 + 24)

60 - 42

18
