Question

Pablo bought chocolate bars that were divied into 8 equal pieces. If Pablo has eaten 20 pieces of chocolate, what is the fractionof chocolate bars he has eaten?

Answer 1

Pablo has eaten 2 1/2 chocolate bars.

Explanation:

We know that:

- Each bar was divided into 8 equal pieces

- Pablo ate 20 pieces

So, we can find the chocolate bars that he has eaten as follows:

`f = (1 \: bar)/(8 \: pieces)*20 \: pieces = 2.5 \: bars = 2(1)/(2) \: bars`

Hence, Pablo has eaten two and a half of chocolate bars expressed as 2 1/2 as a mixed fraction.

I hope it helps you!
