QuestionHow many snow cones can Jayden make with 5 pounds of ice if 0.5 pound makes 3 snow cones?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. Jayden's snow cone machine makes3 snow cones from0.5 pound of ice. . We want to find out how many snow cones can be made with5 pounds of ice.

STEP 2

First, we need to find out how many snow cones can be made from1 pound of ice. We can do this by dividing the number of snow cones by the amount of ice used.
$Snow\, cones\, per\, pound = \frac{Number\, of\, snow\, cones}{ounds\, of\, ice}$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the number of snow cones and pounds of ice to calculate the snow cones per pound.
$Snow\, cones\, per\, pound = \frac{3}{0.5}$

STEP 4

Calculate the number of snow cones that can be made from1 pound of ice.
$Snow\, cones\, per\, pound = \frac{3}{0.} =6$

STEP 5

Now that we know how many snow cones can be made from1 pound of ice, we can find out how many can be made from5 pounds of ice. We do this by multiplying the number of snow cones per pound by the number of pounds.
$Total\, snow\, cones = Snow\, cones\, per\, pound \\timesounds\, of\, ice$

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the snow cones per pound and the pounds of ice to calculate the total number of snow cones.
$Total\, snow\, cones =6 \\times5$

STEP 7

Calculate the total number of snow cones that can be made from5 pounds of ice.
$Total\, snow\, cones =6 \\times5 =30$ Jayden can make30 snow cones with5 pounds of ice.
