\(\frac{2}{3}\) pints of ice cream are used for each sundae.
- 4 pints of ice cream = 6 sundaes
- Pints of ice used for each Sundae =?
Further Explanation
To determine how many pints of ice cream are used for each sundae = 4 pints of ice cream divided by 6 sundaes.
Let x represent that pints of ice cream used for each sundae
Therefore, we have:
X = \(\frac{4}{6}\)
X = \(\frac{2}{3}\) pints
Thus, \(\frac{2}{3}\) pints of ice cream are used for each sundae
We can as well solve this mathematical problem using cross multiplication
6 sundaes = 4 pints of ice cream
1 sundaes = X pints of ice cream (unknown)
If we cross multiply, we have:
(6 x X) = (4 x 1)
6x = 4 (divide both side by 6)
\(\frac{6x}{6}\) = \(\frac{4}{6}\) (4 cross out 6)
X = \(\frac{4}{6}\)
X = \(\frac{2}{3}\)
The question above was solved using the rule of BODMAS. We used multiplication and division.
