Question

Jennifer uses 2 Kilgrams of carrots to bake muffins. How many kegs of carrots does she have left?

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Jennifer gets 7 Kg

b. Jennifer has 5 Kg left

Complete question:

Jennifer's grandmother buys carrots at the farm stand. She and her 3 grandchildren equally share the carrots. The total weight of the carrots she buys is 28 Kg.

a. How many Kg of carrots will Jennifer get?

If Jennifer uses 2 Kg of carrots to bake muffins, how many Kg of carrots does she have left?

Explanation:

Part a:

We know that a total of 28 Kg will be divided equally among the grandmother and her 3 grandchildren. This means that 28 Kg of carrots will be shared equally among 4 people

We can get the number of Kg that Jennifer will get by simply dividing 28 by 4

This is done as follows:

Jennifer will get = $\frac{28}{4}=7$ Kg of carrots

Part b:

We know that Jennifer used 2 Kg of carrots for muffins

This means that the amount she has left can be calculated be subtracting the amount she used for muffins from the total amount she had

This means that:

Jennifer has = 7 - 2 = 5 Kg left of carrots

Hope this helps :)
