Question

Jeremy brings orange slices for his lacrosse team to snack on during halftime. Each slice is of an orange. If he brings 12 whole oranges, how many slices are there? (After the game of an orange remain. How many slices did the team eat? )

Answer 1

Explanation:

the 1/10 becomes 12/10 then for the 12/10 you multiply 12 by 10 equals 120 put the 10 underneath the 120 . That 120 becomes 120/10 and thats how many slices of oranges the team has.

Answer 2

there are usually 10 segments or slices in an orange, but sometimes there are more or less. Let’s assume that each orange has 10 slices for this problem.

If Jeremy brings 12 whole oranges, then he has 12 x 10 = 120 slices.

If each slice is of an orange, then of an orange is equal to 1 slice.

If after the game of an orange remain, then the team ate 1 - = of an orange.

To find out how many slices that is, we can multiply by 10:

x 10 = x 10

= 9 slices

Therefore, the team ate 9 slices of an orange.
