Ashely's mother will make 4 pineapple fruitcakes for a bake sale to raise money for the school band.If 25 ounces of crushed pineapple are divided equally into 4 parts, how much pineapple will there be for each fruitcake?
25/4 = 6.25 ounces
To find out how much pineapple there will be for each fruitcake, we can divide the 25 ounces of crushed pineapple by the number of fruitcakes.
The formula to calculate this is:
Amount per fruitcake = Total amount of pineapple ÷ Number of fruitcakes
In this case, the total amount of pineapple is 25 ounces, and there are 4 fruitcakes.
Using the formula, we can calculate:
Amount per fruitcake = 25 ounces ÷ 4 fruitcakes
Simplifying the division, we get:
Amount per fruitcake = 6.25 ounces
Therefore, there will be 6.25 ounces of crushed pineapple for each fruitcake.
