Daisy has one cucumber that is 3 inches long and another cucumber that is 5 inches long. She cuts the cucumbers into 3/8 inch slices and adds them to a salad. How many 3/8 inch thick slices does Daisy have ?

Respuesta :

Daisy would have 21.This is because 3 times 8 divided by 3 is 8.And 5 times 8 divided by 3 is 13 (you have to ignore the remainder) 8 plus 13 is 21

Answer: There are 21 slices of  [tex]\dfrac{3}{8}[/tex]  inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of one cucumber = 3 inches

Length of another cucumber = 5 inches

Total length would be

3 + 5 = 8 inches

According to question,  She cuts the cucumbers into [tex]\dfrac{3}{8}[/tex] inch slices and adds them to a salad.

so, Number of [tex]\dfrac{3}{8}[/tex]  inch thick slices would be

[tex]\dfrac{8}{\dfrac{3}{8}}\\\\=\dfrac{8\times 8}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{64}{3}\\\\=21.33\\\\\approx 21[/tex]

Hence, there are 21 slices of  [tex]\dfrac{3}{8}[/tex]  inch.
