Question

20

19) Mindy and Cindy bought 64 grapes.
Cindy ate 3/8 of the grapes and Mindy ate
the rest. How many grapes did Mindy eat?

Answer 1

40 grapes

Easy explanation:

64 ÷ 8

= 8

• 1/8 of 64 grapes is 8.

8 × 3

= 24

• 3/8 of 64 grapes is 24.

Now we know that Cindy ate 24 grapes. With that, we can solve how many grapes Mindy ate. By subtracting 24 from 64.

64 - 24

= 40

• Mindy ate 40 grapes.
