Mrs yip had some eggs in a basket .she took out 3/5of the eggs to bake some biscuits and egg tarts .she used 2/3 of the eggs taken out to bake biscuits .what fraction of the total number of eggs was used to bake biscuits ?
3/5 for biscuits and tart s
2/3 of that which is 2/3 * 3/5 = 2/5 for biscuits
A basket contains 300 eggs. If 15 %of the eggs are rotten find the number of rotten eggs.
To find out what fraction of the total number of eggs was used to bake biscuits, we need to calculate the fraction of eggs used for baking biscuits out of the total number of eggs.
Let's go step by step:
Step 1: Mrs. Yip took out 3/5 of the eggs from the basket.
Step 2: She used 2/3 of the eggs taken out for baking biscuits.
Step 3: To find the fraction of eggs used for baking biscuits, we multiply the fractions from step 1 and step 2.
Step 1: Fraction of eggs taken out = 3/5
Step 2: Fraction of eggs used for biscuits = 2/3
Step 3: Fraction of eggs used for biscuits = (3/5) * (2/3)
Now, let's multiply the fractions:
Step 3: Fraction of eggs used for biscuits = (3/5) * (2/3) = (6/15)
Therefore, 6/15 of the total number of eggs were used to bake biscuits.
To find the fraction of the total number of eggs used to bake biscuits, follow these steps:
1. Start by assuming that Mrs. Yip had a total of x eggs in the basket.
2. Mrs. Yip took out 3/5 of the eggs to bake biscuits and egg tarts. Therefore, the number of eggs taken out is (3/5)x.
3. Mrs. Yip used 2/3 of the eggs taken out to bake biscuits. Therefore, the number of eggs used to bake biscuits is (2/3)(3/5)x.
4. Simplify the expression (2/3)(3/5)x to find the number of eggs used to bake biscuits: (2/3)(3/5)x = (6/15)x = (2/5)x.
5. Now, you can see that the fraction of the total number of eggs used to bake biscuits is (2/5)x / x.
6. To simplify the fraction, cancel out the x's: (2/5)x / x = 2/5.
Therefore, the fraction of the total number of eggs used to bake biscuits is 2/5.
