Many thanks
(2/5) * 20 = 40/5 = 8 chocolate
(3/10) * 20 = 60/10 = 6 vanilla
How many blueberry?
Hi Ms Sue Thank you sooooooo much I kinda thought that was it but........ there are 6 blueberry right?
Right.
You're very welcome.
Sure! I can help you with solving this problem. To find the number of chocolate muffins, we need to multiply the total number of muffins by the fraction representing the chocolate muffins.
Step 1: Find the number of chocolate muffins
- Total muffins on the plate: 20
- Fraction of chocolate muffins: 2/5
- Multiply: 20 x (2/5) = 8
So, there are 8 chocolate muffins on the plate.
Moving on to finding the number of vanilla muffins, we follow the same process.
Step 2: Find the number of vanilla muffins
- Total muffins on the plate: 20
- Fraction of vanilla muffins: 3/10
- Multiply: 20 x (3/10) = 6
Therefore, there are 6 vanilla muffins on the plate.
Finally, to find the number of blueberry muffins, we can subtract the sum of chocolate and vanilla muffins from the total number of muffins.
Step 3: Find the number of blueberry muffins
- Total muffins on the plate: 20
- Number of chocolate muffins: 8
- Number of vanilla muffins: 6
- Blueberry muffins = Total muffins - (Chocolate muffins + Vanilla muffins)
- Blueberry muffins = 20 - (8 + 6) = 20 - 14 = 6
So, there are 6 blueberry muffins on the plate.
To summarize:
- There are 8 chocolate muffins on the plate.
- There are 6 vanilla muffins on the plate.
- There are 6 blueberry muffins on the plate.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
