Joe's Ice Cream Shop has 7/8 of a gallon of vanilla ice cream left. They use 1/12 of a gallon of ice cream to make one milkshake. How many vanilla milkshakes will they be able to make?​

Respuesta :

10 and a half vanilla milkshakes will they be able to make

Solution:

Given that  

Vanilla ice cream left at Joe's Ice Cream Shop = [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] gallon

Vanilla ice cream requires making one milk shake = [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] gallon

Need to determine how many more vanilla milkshakes can be made.

Number of ice cream which can be made in [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] gallon = 1

So number of icecream which can be made in  [tex]12 \times \frac{1}{12}=1 \text { gallon }=1 \times 12=12[/tex]

So number of icecream which can be made in [tex]\frac{7}{8} \text { gallon }[/tex] is given as:

[tex]\text { number of icecream which can be made in 1 gallon } \times \frac{7}{8}=12 \times \frac{7}{8}=10.5[/tex]

Hence approximately 10 and a half milkshake can be prepared
