Explain It Each video game at an arcade requires 55 tokens. Tom has 100
tokens. He said he can play 2 games. Is he correct? Explain.
No. He would need 110 coins for 2 games, because 100-55=45, which is less than what he needs for two.
He can only play one game.
Sorry Tom!
100 - 55 = 45
Is Tom correct?
To determine if Tom can play 2 games with his 100 tokens at the arcade, we need to divide the total number of tokens by the number of tokens required for each game.
In this case, each video game requires 55 tokens, so the first step is to divide the total number of tokens, which is 100, by the number of tokens required for one game, 55.
100 ÷ 55 = 1.81 (approximately)
As we can see, Tom can play one full game with his 100 tokens, but there will still be some tokens left over. The leftover tokens are not enough to play a full game.
Therefore, Tom cannot play 2 full games with his 100 tokens. He can only play one full game and would have some tokens remaining.
Thus, Tom's statement that he can play 2 games is incorrect.
