Question

1. jayden’s snow cone machine makes 3 snow cones from 0.5 pound of ice. how many snow cones can be made with 5 pounds of ice?

Explanation:

Step1: Find cones per pound

First, find how many snow cones are made per pound of ice. Since 3 cones are made from 0.5 pound, we divide the number of cones by the pounds of ice: $\frac{3}{0.5} = 6$ cones per pound.

Step2: Calculate for 5 pounds

Now, to find the number of cones for 5 pounds, we multiply the cones per pound by 5: $6\times5 = 30$.

Answer:

30
