Question

For every 14 ice-cream cones Olga buys, she gets 2 free.

How many free ice-cream cones will Olga get if she buys 56 cones?

Answer 1

She will get 8 free cones. To solve this you do the following:


56 ÷ 14 = 4 (unit rate), then you add on 2 every time 14 cones are bought.

so 2 + 2 + 2 + 2= 8.

hopefully this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

$8\ free$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

For every $14$ ice-cream cones Olga buys, she gets $2$ free

so by proportion

Find how many free ice-cream cones will Olga get if she buys $56$ cones

$\frac{2}{14}\frac{free}{buy}=\frac{x}{56}\frac{free}{buy}\\ \\x=56*2/14\\ \\x=8\ free$
