Problema Solution
A recipe calls for 10 cups of oatmeal. Benjamin wants to make 1/5 fewer servings than the recipe makes. Which expression represents how many cups? (A.)0.8*10 (B.)1.8*10 (C.)0.2*10 (D.)1.2*10
Answer provided by our tutors
1/5 fewer servings of 10 is:
10 - (1/5)100 = 10(1 - 1/5) = 10(1 - 0.2) = 10*0.8 = 0.8*10
the answer is (A.)0.8*10.
