Question

There are 12 players on Manny's baseball team. For a snack, each player on the team gets 3/4 ounce of almonds. How many total ounces of almonds are needed for the team's snack?

Answer 1

The total almonds needed for the team's snack is

9 Almonds

Answer 2

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total ounces of almonds needed for the team's snack, you multiply the amount each player gets by the number of players on the team.

Each player gets $\dfrac{3}{4}$ an ounce of almonds.

So, for 12 players, the total amount of almonds needed is:

$\sf Total \:ounces\: of\: almonds\:=\: amount\: per\: player \times \:number \:of \;players \\\\\sf Total \:ounces\: of\: almonds\:=\: \dfrac{3}{4} \times 12 \\\\\sf Total \:ounces\: of\: almonds\:= \dfrac{3 \times 12}{4} \\\\\sf Total \:ounces\: of\: almonds\:= \dfrac{36}{4}\\\\\sf Total \:ounces\: of\: almonds\:=9$
