Question

A chef cooked seven kilograms of mashed potatoes for a dinner

party. If the guests only ate three-quarters of the amount he cooked,
how much did they eat?.....................plz hurry up

Answer 1

`7* (3)/(4) = (7*3)/(4) = (21)/(4) = (20+1)/(4) = (20)/(4) + (1)/(4) =5+ (1)/(4) =5.25`

Answer 2

Hence, the amount of potatoes they ate is:

`(21)/(4)kg=5.25kg`

Explanation:

A chef cooked seven kilograms of mashed potatoes for a dinner

party.

Now it is given that:

If the guests only ate three-quarters of the amount he cooked,

We have to find the amount they ate?

( Three-quarters is an amount that is three out of four equal parts of something )

i.e. the guest ate:

3/4 of 7 kg of mashed potatoes.

which is given by:

`(3)/(4)* 7=(21)/(4)kg=5.25kg`

Hence, the amount of potatoes they ate is:

`(21)/(4)kg=5.25kg`
