Question

A group of students is performing in experiment with so each student and 3/8 teaspoon of salt to a solution the group only has a 1/8 teaspoon Measuring spoon down many times were so cramped need to fill the measuring spoon in order to perform the experiment

Answer 1

12 times.

Explanation:

Attached is the complete question.

Given: Each student must add 3/8 teaspoon of salt to a solution.

The group only has a 1/8 teaspoon measuring spoon.

Lets assume number of times spoon each students need to fill be "x" to get
`(3)/(8) \ teaspoon` for performing experiment.

Now finding the number of times each students need to fill the measuring spoon.

⇒
`(1)/(8) * x= (3)/(8)`

Multiplying both side by 8

⇒
`x= (3* 8)/(8)= 3`

∴ x= 3 .

Hence, each students need to fill 3 times teaspoon to perform experiment.

As given there are 4 students in the group, therefore each will add 3 teaspoon to perform experiment.

∴ Total number of times teaspoon to be added =
`number\ of\ spoon\ by\ each\ student* total\ number\ of\ students`

Total number of teaspoon to be added=
`3* 4= 12`

∴ 12 number of times teaspoon need to fill the measuring spoon in order to perform experiment.
