kenny uses $\frac{1}{16}$ of the chocolate syrup bottle for 1 scoop of ice cream. how many scoops of ice cream has kenny eaten if he has used $2\frac{3}{4}$ bottles of chocolate syrup? ? scoops of ice cream
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Convert mixed - number to improper fraction
$2\frac{3}{4}=\frac{2\times4 + 3}{4}=\frac{11}{4}$
Step2: Divide total syrup used by syrup per scoop
The number of scoops $n=\frac{\frac{11}{4}}{\frac{1}{16}}$. When dividing by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal, so $n=\frac{11}{4}\times16$. $\frac{11}{4}\times16 = 11\times4=44$
Answer:
44
