Abe had some sweets.
He gave half of his sweets to Ben.
Ben gave one third of his sweets to Charlie.
Charlie gave one quarter of her sweets to Dawn.
Dawn gave one fifth of her sweets to Eddy.
Eddy received 6 sweets.
How many sweets did Abe have?


Sagot :


Answer - 720

You would do 6 x 5 = 30 to get how many dawn had
Then you’d do 30 x 4 = 120 to get how many Charlie had
Then you’d do 120 x 3 = 360 to get how many Ben had
Then 360 x 2 = 720 to get the original amount

Have a good day :)
