Question

A chef cooked 7 kilograms of mashed potatoes for a dinner party. If the guests only ate 3/10 of the amount he cooked, how much did they eat

Answer 1

2.1 kilograms of potatoes was ate by the guest

Step-by-step explanation

Total weight of potatos cooked = 7 kilograms

The guest ate 3/10 of the amount cooked

The amount of kilogram ate = 7 x 3/10

The amount ate = 7 x 3 / 10

The amount ate = 21/10

The amount ate = 2.1 kilograms

Therefore, the guest ate 2. 1 kilograms of the potatoes cooked

It will be 21/10 = 2.1
