At the end of a party, three fourths
cup of dip is left. Jim divides four fifths
of the leftover dip equally between 2 friends. How much dip does each friend get?
(4/5 * 3/4) / 2 =
(12/20) * 1/2 = 12/40= 3/10
3/10
Well, if there were "dippy" awards at this party, they would definitely go to Jim for his dip-related math skills! Let's break it down.
If three-fourths of a cup of dip is left, that means there's one-fourth of a cup gone.
Now, Jim takes four-fifths of that leftover dip and shares it equally between 2 friends.
So, to find out how much dip each friend gets, we need to calculate one-fourth of four-fifths of a cup.
To make it simpler, let's say there are 100 units in one cup.
One-fourth of a cup would then be 25 units, and four-fifths of that would be (4/5) * 25 = 20 units.
Since there are 20 units of dip, and they need to be shared equally between 2 friends, each friend would get 10 units of dip.
So, each friend gets 10 units of dip. Enjoy the dip-sharing fun!
To find out how much dip each friend gets, we need to follow a few steps:
Step 1: Find out how much dip is left.
We know that three fourths (3/4) of a cup of dip is left at the end of the party.
Step 2: Calculate how much dip is divided between the friends.
We know that Jim divides four fifths (4/5) of the leftover dip equally between 2 friends.
Step 3: Solve the problem.
To find out how much dip each friend gets, we need to multiply three fourths (3/4) by four fifths (4/5) and then divide the result by 2.
Let's follow these steps:
Step 1: Three fourths (3/4) of a cup of dip is left.
Step 2: Jim divides four fifths (4/5) of the leftover dip equally between 2 friends.
Step 3: Multiply three fourths (3/4) by four fifths (4/5):
(3/4) * (4/5) = 12/20 = 3/5
Now, we divide the result by 2 to find out how much dip each friend gets:
(3/5) / 2 = 3/10
Therefore, each friend gets 3/10 of a cup of dip.
