Question

Lauren brings fruit snacks to class one day. She gives 3/5 of them to her friends Garreth, Tammy, and Camilla. If she gave them 22 fruit snacks , how many did she bring to class?

Answer 1

the answer would have to be a decimal but if you round it it will become 36

Answer 2

If you would like to know how many fruit snacks did Lauren bring to the class, you can calculate this using the following steps:

3/5 of fruit snacks is 22 fruit snacks
3/5 * x = 22 /*5/3
x = 22 * 5/3
x = 110/3
x = 36 2/3 fruit snacks

36 - 22 = 14 fruit snacks

Result: Lauren brought 14 fruit snacks to the class.
