Question

11.A father cooks some pasta for himself and his daughter for a packed lunch. He cooks 75g

for himself and 50g for his daughter.
When serving the pasta, he uses 10 equal spoonfuls.
How many spoonfuls will he serve his daughter?

Answer 1

4 spoonfuls

Explanation :

we are given that the father figure cooked 75g of pasta for himself and 50g for his daughter thus a total of 125g of pasta cooked for the lunch. It's also given that he used 10 equal spoonfuls which means each of the spoonful would be of 125g/10 = 12.5g and thereby the number of spoonfuls that would come in the share of the daughter would be 50g/12.5g = 4 spoonfuls.

Hence, the daughter got 4 spoonfuls of pasta for the lunch made by her father.
