Question

Liza hosted a party for her friends at her house. $3$ of her friends showed up. Liza's mother made a large, delicious chocolate pie and then cut it into $10$ equal pieces. Her companions split the pie into $2,3$ and $5$ chunks. Choose the suitable choice to symbolize the chocolate portions taken by her buddies.

• A. $0.2,0.3,$ and $0.5$
• B. $0.03,0.05,$ and $0.02$
• C. $3,5,$ and $2$
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A $0.2,0.3,$ and $0.5$


Chocolate bar was cut into $10$ equal pieces.

$\Rightarrow$ Portions of chocolate pie taken by her friends who took $3$ slices
$=\frac{3}{10}$
$=0.3$

$\Rightarrow$ Portions of chocolate pie taken by her friends who took $5$ slices
$=\frac{5}{10}$
$=0.5$

$\Rightarrow$ Portions of chocolate pie taken by her friends who took $2$ slices
$=\frac{2}{10}$
$=0.2$

So, the correct choice is (a).
