How many caramel apples are covered with sprinkles?
"over" ?? Just write 1/5, 3/10, etc.
1/5 * 120 = 24
1/3 * 120 = 40
and so on
To find out how many caramel apples are covered with sprinkles, we need to subtract the number of caramel apples covered with peanuts, chocolate chips, and coconut from the total number of caramel apples.
Let's calculate it step by step:
Step 1: Find the number of caramel apples covered with peanuts.
Since 1/5 of the caramel apples are covered with peanuts, we can calculate it by multiplying the total number of caramel apples by 1/5.
Number of caramel apples covered with peanuts = 1/5 * 120 = 24.
Step 2: Find the number of caramel apples covered with chocolate chips.
Since 1/3 of the caramel apples are covered with chocolate chips, we can calculate it by multiplying the total number of caramel apples by 1/3.
Number of caramel apples covered with chocolate chips = 1/3 * 120 = 40.
Step 3: Find the number of caramel apples covered with coconut.
Since 3/10 of the caramel apples are covered with coconut, we can calculate it by multiplying the total number of caramel apples by 3/10.
Number of caramel apples covered with coconut = 3/10 * 120 = 36.
Step 4: Subtract the number of caramel apples covered with peanuts, chocolate chips, and coconut from the total number of caramel apples.
Number of caramel apples covered with sprinkles = Total number of caramel apples - (Number of caramel apples covered with peanuts + Number of caramel apples covered with chocolate chips + Number of caramel apples covered with coconut)
Number of caramel apples covered with sprinkles = 120 - (24 + 40 + 36) = 120 - 100 = 20.
Therefore, there are 20 caramel apples covered with sprinkles.
