Question

Nick likes to use 12 of a chocolate bar to make a s'more Tasha will only eat a s'more that is made with exactly 25 of a chocolate bar what fraction of a chocolate bar will nick and Tasha use in total if they each eat one s'more

Answer 1

Here is the complete question

Nick and Tasha are buying supplies for a camping trip. They need to buy chocolate bars to make s’mores, their favorite campfire dessert. Each of them has a different recipe for their perfect s’more. Nick likes to use 1/2 of a chocolate bar to make a s’more. Tasha will only eat a s’more that is made with exactly 2/5 of a chocolate bar.

Answer:

Both Nick and Tacha will use 9/10 of the chocolate bar

Explanation:

Nicks share of the chocolate bar is 1/2(fraction of the chocolate bar need to make the s'more

And Tasha requires 2/5 to make her own s'more.

Then if both of them share a single chocolate bar,then it will be:

2/5(Tasha's share) + 1/2(Nick's share)

= 9/10 of a single chocolate bar will be used.

In case they were interested to know the amount remaining, it will be:

1 - 9/10 = 1 1/10

Answer 2

Question:

Nick and Tasha are buying supplies for a camping trip. They need to buy chocolate bars to make s’mores, their favorite campfire dessert. Each of them has a different recipe for their perfect s’more. Nick likes to use 1/2 of a chocolate bar to make a s’more. Tasha will only eat a s’more that is made with exactly 2/5 of a chocolate bar.

Answer:

The fraction of a chocolate bar will Nick and Tasha will use in total if they each eat one s'more is
`(9)/(10)` bar.

Explanation:

Here, we are meant to learn how to add fractions and to know about the essence of a common denominator

The portion of the chocolate that Nick makes an s'more with is 1/2

The portion of the chocolate that Tasha makes an s'more with is 2/5

Therefore the fraction of the chocolate bar Nick and Tasha use in total if they each eat one s'more is 1/2 + 2/5

Where
`(1)/(2)` +
`(2)/(5)` multiplying the fraction
`(1)/(2)` by
`(5)/(5)` and
`(2)/(5)` by
`(2)/(2)` wee have

`(5)/(5)`×
`(1)/(2)` +
`(2)/(2)`×
`(2)/(5)` =
`(5)/(10)` +
`(4)/(10)` =
`(9)/(10)` bar

Therefore the fraction of the chocolate bar that would be left is

1 bar -
`(9)/(10)` bar =
`(1)/(10)` bar.
