Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: One serving of special sundae is made up of one third mint ice cream one third chocolate and one third vanilla.

To find: Ratio of vanilla ice cream is in a half serving

Solution:

Ratio of mint ice cream in one serving $=\frac{1}{3}$

Ratio of chocolate ice cream in one serving $=\frac{1}{3}$

Ratio of vanilla ice cream in one serving $=\frac{1}{3}$

Here, $\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{3} =1$

Therefore,

Ratio of vanilla ice cream is in a half serving $=\frac{1}{3}(\frac{1}{2})=\frac{1}{6}$
