Ivy Tech is a strange subject!
1/5 = 0.2
0.2 * 125 = ?
25
To find out how many ice cream cones will be vanilla, we need to determine one-fifth of the total number of cones sold. Here's how we can do that:
Step 1: Determine one-fifth (1/5) of the total number of ice cream cones sold.
- Divide the total number of cones sold (125) by 5.
- Calculation: 125 ÷ 5 = 25
Step 2: Determine the number of vanilla ice cream cones sold.
- Since one out of every five people buys vanilla ice cream, approximately 1/5 of the cones sold will be vanilla.
- Calculation: 1/5 × 125 = 25
Therefore, approximately 25 out of the 125 ice cream cones sold will be vanilla.
