Question

noreen made 8 2/3 cups of snack mix for a party. her guest ate 3/4 of the mix. how much snack mix did her guest eat?

Answer 1

Answer:

$6\frac{1}{2}\text{ cups}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total snake mix for the party = $8\frac{2}{3}$ cups = $\frac{26}{3}$ cups,

Also, the part of total mix eaten by the guest = $\frac{3}{4}$

Thus, the total mix eaten by them = part of mix eaten by them × total mix

= $\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{26}{3}$

$=\frac{26}{4}$

$=6\frac{2}{4}$

$=6\frac{1}{2}\text{ cups}$

Answer 2

Noreen made 8 and 2/3 cups which after solving becomes 8.666
now the guest ate 3/4 which means 3/4 of 8.66 which is 6.50 which means the guest ate 6 1/2 cups
