Question

for a party Paul bought cupcakes with 5/7 being chocolate. Of the chocolate cupcakes 1/5 of the cupcakes had chocolate sprinkles. Hey fraction of the cupcakes had sprinkles

Answer 1

Explanation:

-Given that 5/7 chocolates were bought and 1/5 of them had sprinkles.

-We multiply the fraction that had sprinkles by the total of chocolate cakes to determine the number that had sprinkles.

-Let x be the total number of cupcakes:

`Chocolate\ cakes=(5)/(7)x\\\\Sprinkles=(5)/(7)x* (1)/(5)\\\\=(1)/(7)x`

Hence, a
`(1)/(7)` of the total cakes bought had sprinkles.
