Andrea bought 12 bagels and 10 muffins at the bakery. Of these items, 2/3 of the bagels were multigrain, and 3/5 of the muffins were bran muffins.
Answer the following questions in the 2 spaces below:
Blank 1: How many multigrain bagels did Andrea buy?
Blank 2: How many bran muffins did Andrea buy?
Bagels: 2/3 of 12 = 8
24/3 = 8/1 = 8
Muffins: 3/5 of 10 = 6 were bran
30/5 = 6/1
Blank 1: To find the number of multigrain bagels, we need to calculate 2/3 of the total number of bagels Andrea bought.
2/3 * 12 = 8
Therefore, Andrea bought 8 multigrain bagels.
Blank 2: To find the number of bran muffins, we need to calculate 3/5 of the total number of muffins Andrea bought.
3/5 * 10 = 6
Therefore, Andrea bought 6 bran muffins.
To find the answers to these questions, we need to calculate the number of multigrain bagels and bran muffins that Andrea bought.
Let's start with Blank 1: How many multigrain bagels did Andrea buy?
We are given that 2/3 of the bagels were multigrain. To find the number of multigrain bagels, we need to calculate 2/3 of the total number of bagels Andrea bought.
Since Andrea bought 12 bagels, we can calculate 2/3 of 12 by multiplying: (2/3) * 12 = 8
Therefore, Andrea bought 8 multigrain bagels.
Moving on to Blank 2: How many bran muffins did Andrea buy?
We are told that 3/5 of the muffins were bran muffins. To find the number of bran muffins, we need to calculate 3/5 of the total number of muffins Andrea bought.
Since Andrea bought 10 muffins, we can calculate 3/5 of 10 by multiplying: (3/5) * 10 = 6
Therefore, Andrea bought 6 bran muffins.
So, the answers are:
Blank 1: Andrea bought 8 multigrain bagels.
Blank 2: Andrea bought 6 bran muffins.
