Question

A chef cooked vegetables for 22 customers. The chef cooked 1/3 pound of potatoes and

1/4 pound of green beans for
each customer.

How many pounds of vegetables did the chef cook for these customers all together?

Answer 1

The chef cooked 1/3 pound of potatoes and

1/4 pound of green beans for

each customer.

so. Sum of all vegetables for one customer = 1/3 pound of potatoes + 1/4 pound of green beans

= 1/3 + 1/4 pound

= 7/12 pound

so. Sum of all vegetables for 22 customer = (7/12 pound ) 22

= 22/12 pound

= 11/6 pound
