An ice cream store sells ice cream in a cup or in a cone. It sells 7 cones for every 3 cups of ice cream it sells. If 220 people buy ice cream at the store today, how may cones would the store sell?
I m not sure of my answer but i think its correct...
7 cones/ 3 cups of ice cream.
The nearest multiple of 3 to 220 is 219
one cone per cup = 7/3 ( 7 cones for 3 cups )
Total no of cups sold = 219 One cone per cup
= 219 7/3
= 511 cones
Therefore, the number of cones the store would sell is 511 cones.
