Nadia's diet can says she can eat 3.5 ounces of chicken nuggets. The package weighs 10.5 ounces and contains 15 chicken nuggets. How many nuggets can Nadia eat?
I've tried this question out, and I divided 10.5 by 3.5? Is that correct?
No.
Divide 10.5 by 15 = 0.7
Each nugget weights 0.7 ounces.
3.5 / 0.7 = 5
She can eat 5 nuggets.
Learn to keep the units in tow. Remember that nothing changes when you multiply by 1. You want to convert 3.5 ounces to a number of nuggets.
The problem says that 10.5 oz = 15 nuggets. So, starting out with
3.5 oz, multiply by 1 to get rid of the ounces:
3.5 oz * 15 nug/10.5 oz = 3.5*15/10.5 nug = 5 nug.
Yes, you are on the right track! To determine how many chicken nuggets Nadia can eat, we need to divide the weight she can eat (3.5 ounces) by the weight of each chicken nugget in the package (10.5 ounces).
To find the number of chicken nuggets Nadia can eat, divide 3.5 by 10.5:
3.5 ounces รท 10.5 ounces = 0.333...
Since we cannot have a fraction of a nugget, we need to round the result to the nearest whole number. In this case, since it is less than 0.5, we round down to 0.
Therefore, Nadia can eat 0 nuggets according to the given information. However, it seems there might be a mistake in the question as it mentions that the package contains 15 chicken nuggets.
