Question

An ice cream store uses 1/5 of a box of ice cream cones everyday. If they have 8 boxes, how many days will they last? Write the equation from your word problem and solve: Every box needs an answer. If you have a whole number, write 1 as your denominator

Answer 1

• 1.6 days (1 3/5 for simplified form).

Explanation:

Given equation:

• 1/5 * 8

We know that a box survives 1/5 a day.

• 1/5 * 8 = 1 3/5

It will survive 1 3/5 a day in 8 boxes.
