Question

Jan has a 12 ounce milkshake. Four ounces in the milkshakes are vanilla, and the rest is chocolate. What equivalent fractions that represent the fraction of the milkshake that is vanilla

Answer 1

Vanilla milkshake = 1/3 and Chocolate milkshake = 2/3

Explanation:

Given data:

Total ounce of milkshake = 12 ounce

Vanilla milkshake = 4

Chocolate is the rest which can be interpreted as 12 - 4= 8 ounce

Representing as fractions

Vanilla milkshake = 4/12 (Reducing to lowest terms that is diving numerator and denominator by common factor in this case 4)

Vanilla milkshake = 1/3

Chocolate milkshake = 8/12 (Reducing to lowest terms that is diving numerator and denominator by common factor in this case 4)

Chocolate milkshake = 2/3
