Question

eduardo baked 150 muffins 1/5 of the muffins are banana 1/2 of the muffins are blueberry the rest are strawberry, how many muffins are strawberry

Answer 1

45 strawberry muffins

Explanation:

In order to solve this equation you are going to have to multiply 150 by 1/5 bananas and 1/2 blueberry in order to get how much strawberry muffins were made. So first we are going to convert 1/5 and 1/2 into decimals:

1/5 = 0.2

1/2 = 0.5

Now we are going to multiply 0.2 and 0.5 by 150 in order to figure out how much banana and Blueberry muffins were made:

0.2 * 150 = 30

0.5 * 150 = 75

So 30 banana muffins were made and 75 blueberry muffins were made, now that we know this we are going to add 30 and 75 together and subtract the answer from 150. THe reason we are subtracting 75 + 30 from 150 is because we are trying to segregate the strawberry muffins from the total number:

75 + 30 = 105

now we subtract:

150 - 105 = 45

So the number of strawberry muffins made was 45.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

The total number of strawberry muffins are: 45

Explanation:

Total baked muffins = 150

1/5 of the muffins are banana, so

Banana muffins = 1/5 × 150

= 30

1/2 of the muffins are blueberry, so

Blueberry muffins = 1/2 × 150

= 75

The rest are strawberry, so

Strawberry muffins = Total muffins - Banana muffins - Blueberry muffins

= 150 - 30 - 75

= 45

Therefore, the total number of strawberry muffins are: 45
