Randy has two 28-pound blocks of ice for his snow cone stand. If each snow cone requires [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] pound of ice, how many snow cones can Randy make?
Answer (3)
Randy has 56 pounds of ice, and since each snow cone requires 2/3 pound of ice, he can make a total of 84 snow cones. ;
To find out how many snow cones Randy can make, we need to divide the total weight of ice he has by the weight of ice required for each snow cone. Randy has two 28-pound blocks of ice, so the total weight of ice he has is 56 pounds. Each snow cone requires 2/3 pound of ice. We can divide 56 by 2/3 to find the number of snow cones Randy can make.
56 ÷ 2/3 = 56 × 3/2 = 84
Therefore, Randy can make 84 snow cones.
Randy has a total of 56 pounds of ice, which allows him to make 84 snow cones since each snow cone requires 3 2 pound of ice.
