Answer 1

0.156 because you take 3.9 (fudge) and divide it by 25 (guests)

Answer 2

Answer:

Amount of fudge ate by each person = 0.15 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Brenda is planning her birthday party. She wants to have 10.92 liters of punch, 6.5 gallons of ice cream, 3.9 pounds of fudge.

Total amount of fudge = 3.9 pounds

There are 25 guests at the birthday party.

Brenda and each guest eat the same amount of fudge.

Total number of persons eating fudge = Total number of guests + 1 = 25 + 1 = 26

$\texttt{Amount of fudge ate by each person =}\frac{\texttt{Total amount of fudge}}{\texttt{Total number of persons eating fudge}}\\\\\texttt{Amount of fudge ate by each person =}\frac{3.9}{26}=0.15pounds$

Amount of fudge ate by each person = 0.15 pounds
