How many cups of fruit salad did each student get?
Write your answer as a proper fraction or mixed number.
Well, if Dustin divided 7 cups of fruit salad equally among 10 campers, we have a fruity fraction situation here! Let's do some mathy clown work to figure it out.
If we divide 7 cups by 10 campers, we get 7/10 cups of fruit salad each. So, each student gets a healthy portion of 7/10 cups of fruity goodness. That sounds like a perfectly balanced snack to me! Enjoy, campers! 🍇🍓🍍
To find out how many cups of fruit salad each student got, you need to divide the total cups of fruit salad by the number of campers.
Total cups of fruit salad = 7 cups
Number of campers = 10
So, each student got 7/10 cups of fruit salad.
To find out how many cups of fruit salad each camper got, we need to divide the total cups of fruit salad (7) by the number of campers (10).
To solve this problem, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Divide the total cups of fruit salad (7) by the number of campers (10).
7 ÷ 10
Step 2: Simplify the fraction, if necessary.
Since the numerator (7) is less than the denominator (10), the resulting fraction will be a proper fraction.
Step 3: Calculate the division.
7 ÷ 10 = 0.7
Step 4: Convert the decimal to a fraction or mixed number.
The result, 0.7, can be expressed as a fraction by placing the decimal part over the place value of the decimal. In this case, the 7 is in the tenth place.
Therefore, the fraction form of 0.7 is 7/10.
Answer: Each student received 7/10 cups of fruit salad.
