4) Henry has 52/9 ounces of dark chocolate, which he hopes to make tiny chocolategravestones with. How many gravestones can he make if one gravestone consumes 2/9of an ounce of the chocolate?

Answer :

It is given that Henry has 52/9 ounces of chocolate.

Each gravestone requires 2/9 ounce of chocolate.

Hence the number of gravestones possible are:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{\frac{52}{9}}{\frac{2}{9}}=\frac{52}{9}\times\frac{9}{2} \\ =\frac{52}{2} \\ =26 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence 26 gravestones are possible.
