Question

A gift shop prepares special chocolate almond milk. Chan asks for two and three-fifths gallons of chocolate milk divided equally in 10 different packs, as a gift for his relatives. How many gallons of special milk will be there in each pack?

• A. $\frac{13}{50}$
• B. $\frac{11}{50}$
• C. $\frac{7}{50}$
• D. $\frac{17}{50}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{13}{50}$

Chan asks for two and three-fifths gallons of chocolate milk.
$2\frac{3}{5}=\frac{2\times 5+3}{5}=\frac{13}{5}$ gallons

Chocolate milk is divided equally in 10 different packs. Hence, each pack contains
$2\frac{3}{5}÷10=\frac{13}{5}÷10=\frac{13}{5}÷\frac{10}{1}$
$=\frac{13}{5}\times \frac{1}{10}=\frac{13}{50}$ gallons.
$\therefore \frac{13}{50}$ gallons of special chocolate almond milk will be there in each pack of 10 packs.
