Question

When the picnic was over,1 2/5 of tubs were leftover.mrs.anderson divided the leftover between 10 attendees. How many ounces of potato salad did each attendee receive

Answer 1

Each attendee received approximately 1.12 ounces of potato salad.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many ounces of potato salad each attendee received, we need to divide the number of leftover tubs by the number of attendees. Given that 1 2/5 of tubs were leftover and Mrs. Anderson divided the leftovers between 10 attendees, we can calculate the amount each attendee received as follows:

1 2/5 tubs = 7/5 tubs

7/5 tubs / 10 attendees = 7/5 ÷ 10 = 7/50 tubs per attendee

Now, we need to convert tubs to ounces. If we assume each tub of potato salad weighs 16 ounces, then 7/50 tubs per attendee is:

(7/50) * 16 ounces per tub = 1.12 ounces per attendee

Therefore, each attendee received approximately 1.12 ounces of potato salad.
