Jayden’s snow cone machine makes 3 snow cones from 0.5 pound of ice. How many snow cones can be made with 5 pounds of ice ?

30

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 pounds of ice = 3 cones.

1 pound = 6 cones.

but we need to find how much 5 pounds will make.

1 pound = 6 cones.

times both sides by 5=

5 pound= 30 cones.

30 snow cones.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 snow cones per 0.5 pounds of ice

0.5 pounds of ice x 10 = 5 pounds of ice

3 snow cones X 10 = 30 snow cones.

First you would want tp reduce the numbers with the greatest common factor by 3, now the problem looks like this:

2 x 2/7

Then calculate the product by doing 2 x 2

4/7

Then you are left with your

4/7

Hope this helps! :3
