Question

the daniels family made fudge and brownies for a school fundraiser. they made 9 pounds of fudge . the fudge was separated into 3/4 pound blocks they sell each block for $6.50 if they sell all the fudge how much money will they make

Answer 1

Answer: $78

Explanation:

Find the number of blocks as following:

`blocks=(9pounds)/((3)/(4)pounds)\\\\blocks=12`

You know that they sell each block for $6.50.

Therefore, if they sell all the fudge then you can calculate the amount of money they will make (which you can call x) by multiplying the number of blocks by the price of each one of them. Therefore, you obtain:

`x=\$6.50*12\\x=\$78`

Answer 2

The Daniels family will make $78.

Explanation:

We know that 9 pound cake made by the Daniels family was separated into 3/4 pound block.

So we will divide the total amount of cake by 3/4 to find the number of blocks:

`\frac { 9 } { \frac { 3 } { 4 } } = \frac { 9 * 4 } { 3 } = 12`

We are given that each block is sold at $6.50 so we need to find the total amount of money they will make if all blocks are sold.

Total money =
`12 * 6.5` = $78
