Question

For the student council meeting after school, Mr. Aggie brought 3 loaves of homemade raisin bread. Each loaf was cut into ten equal pieces.

The sixth grade students ate one whole loaf and 4 slices of raisin bread. The seventh grade students ate 9 slices of raisin bread. The eighth grade students ate 6 slices of raisin bread.

Which expression below can be used to show the amount of raisin bread eaten by the student council members?

A. 4 + 9 + 6
B. 4/10 + 9/10 + 6/10
C. 1 4/10 + 9/10 + 6/10
D. 3/10 + 1 4/10 + 9/10 + 6/10

Answer 1

The answer is c. 14/10 +9/10 +6/10 . Because each slice is cut into 10 pieces the six graders at 1 whole loaf which was 10 pieces plus 4 pieces of another loaf so add that up
Its 14 and then seventh graders at 9 slices out of 10 and the eighth graders at 6 slices out of 10
