Question

Four campers divide 24 large marshmallows equally. Each s'mores uses 2 marshmallows. How many s'mores can each camper have?

Answer 1

Each camper can have 3 s'mores

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that four campers divided 24 large marshmallows equally.

The number of marshmallows each will get is;

`\begin{gathered} =(24)/(4) \\ =6\text{ marshmallows each} \end{gathered}`

Since Each s'mores uses 2 marshmallows.

`1\text{ s'more }\rightarrow\text{ 2 marshmallows}`

Then, the number of s'mores each camper can get is;

`\begin{gathered} 2\text{ marshmallows }\rightarrow\text{ 1 s'more} \\ 6\text{ marshmallows }\rightarrow\text{ }(1)/(2)*6\text{ s'mores} \\ 6\text{ marshmallows }\rightarrow\text{ 3 s'mores} \\ \end{gathered}`

Therefore, each camper can have 3 s'mores
