Question

Henry has 52/9 ounces of dark chocolate, which he hopes to make tiny chocolategravestones with. How many gravestones can he make if one gravestone consumes 2/9of an ounce of the chocolate?

Answer 1

It is given that Henry has 52/9 ounces of dark chocolate.

Each gravestone requires 2/9 ounces of dark chocolate.

Hence the number of gravstones that can be made is given by:

`\begin{gathered} ((52)/(9))/((2)/(9))=(52)/(9)*(9)/(2) \\ =(52)/(2) \\ =26 \end{gathered}`

Hence the number of gravestones possible is 26.
