Question

A diner is known for its chocolate milk. Chad asks for two and three-fifths gallons of chocolate milk to be divided equally into 10 packs for his friends. How many gallons of chocolate milk will be there in each pack ?

• A. $\frac{11}{50}$ gal
• B. $\frac{7}{50}$ gal
• C. $\frac{13}{50}$ gal

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{13}{50}$ gal

Chad asks for two and three-fifths gal of chocolate milk.
$2\frac{3}{5}=\frac{(2\times 5)+3}{5}=\frac{13}{5}$ gal

The chocolate milk is divided equally into 10 packs. Hence, each pack contains.
$2\frac{3}{5}÷10=\frac{13}{5}÷10$

$=\frac{13}{5}÷\frac{10}{1}$

$=\frac{13}{5}\times \frac{1}{10}$

$=\frac{13}{50}$ gal

So, each of the 10 packs will contain $\frac{13}{50}$ gal of chocolate milk.
