Question

randy has two 28 pound blocks of ice for his snow cone stand .if each snow requires  2/3  pound of ice ,how many snow cones can randy make?

Answer 1

two 28 pound blocks of ice = 28 x 2 = 56
56 x 2/3 =112/3=37.33333
we round it to 37. so it's about 37 cones can be made

Answer 2

Randy can make 84 snow cones

Explanation:

First, it is necessary to calculate the total pounds that Randy has. It can be calculated as:

28 pound * 2 Blocks of ice = 56 pounds of ice

Then, we need to use a rule of three in which we know that each snow cone requires 2/3 pound of ice, then with 56 pounds how many snow cones can be made. This is:

1 snow cone -------------------- 2/3 pound of ice

x -------------------- 56 pounds of ice

Where x is the number of snow cones that can be made with 56 pounds of ice. Solving for x, we get:

`x=(56 * 1)/(2/3)`

x = 84 snow cones.

So, Randy can make 84 snow cones.
