Question

For a winter-themed Valentine's Day party, Mr. Rivera made 12 cups of hot chocolate. Does he have enough hot chocolate to give 26 kids 1/2 of a cup each?

Answer 1

Multiply the number of kids by the number of cups for each kid. This is 26 times 1/2.

`26\cdot(1)/(2)=(26)/(2)=13`

It means 13 cups are needed to give each of the 26 kids 1/2 of a cup of chocolate.

Mr. Rivera does not have enough hot chocolate to give 26 kids 1/2 of a cup of chocolate.
