Mr. Jablonski's class is making fudge for a bake sale. Mr. Jablonski

has a recipe that makes 3/4 pound of fudge. There are 21 students in

the class. Each student uses the recipe to make one batch of fudge.

How many pounds of fudge do the students make?

Answer:

student made
`(63)/(4) \ lbs \ OR \ 15 (3)/(4)\ lbs \ OR \ 15.75\ lbs` of fudge.

Explanation:

Given:

Mr. Jablonski recipe makes 3/4 pound of fudge.

Number of student in class = 21 students.

Each student uses the recipe to make one batch of fudge.

Hence to calculate Total amount of fudge student made we will multiply the amount of fudge used in recipe with Number of students.

Total amount of fudge student made = amount of fudge used in recipe × Number of students.

Total amount of fudge student made =
`(3)/(4)*21 = (63)/(4) \ lbs =15 (3)/(4)\ lbs = 15.75\ lbs`

Hence the student made
`(63)/(4) \ lbs \ OR \ 15 (3)/(4)\ lbs \ OR \ 15.75\ lbs` of fudge.
