bringing 712 pounds of homemade fudge to sell.
How many pieces of fudge will Tamika be able to sell at the carnival next Sunday?
A 30
B 10
C 5 5/8
D 2 1/2"

Answer 1

Tamika will be able to sell 20 pieces of fudge at the carnival next Sunday.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many pieces of fudge Tamika will be able to sell, we need to divide the total weight of fudge by the weight of each piece. Tamika plans to bring 712 pounds of fudge, and each piece weighs 34 pounds.

To find the number of pieces, we divide the total weight by the weight of each piece:

712 pounds / 34 pounds = 20.94

Since we can't have a partial piece, we round down the number of pieces to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, Tamika will be able to sell 20 pieces of fudge at the carnival next Sunday.
