Question

Cora has some ice cream that she is serving for her friend , if Cora gives1/6 of a quart of ice cream to earth of her 8 friends,how much ice cream does she save in total

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{4}{3} quarts$ of ice cream

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of friends = 8

Size of ice cream = 1/6 quarts

Required

Total ice cream served

Let n represent the number of friends, s represent the size of ice cream and t represents total ice cream served;

t is calculated as thus;

$t = n * s$

$t = 8 * \frac{1}{6} quarts$

$t = \frac{8}{6} quarts$

Divide numerator and denominator by 2

$t = \frac{4}{3} quarts$

Hence, she serves $\frac{4}{3} quarts$ in total
