Antwon is having a party for 48 people.he surveyed the group and found out that five-eights of them like snickers and seven-twelve of them like milk ways . he wants to get the candy liked by most guest. which candy should he buy?
5/8 = 62.5%
7/12 = 58.3%
To determine which candy Antwon should buy, we need to compare the fractions of people who like each type of candy.
First, let's calculate the number of people who like Snickers. Five-eighths of the total 48 people would be:
(5/8) * 48 = 30 people
Now, let's calculate the number of people who like Milky Ways. Seven-twelfths of the total 48 people would be:
(7/12) * 48 = 28 people
Comparing these numbers, we can see that Snickers is liked by 30 people, while Milky Ways is liked by 28 people. Therefore, Antwon should buy Snickers since it is liked by more guests.
