Carries two brothers each ate 4 pieces, the rest of carries family ate 14 pieces and there were 14 pieces remaining given that Carries family broke a package of graham crackers into 32 pieces. carries two brothers each ate 1/8 of the pieces and the rest of the family ate 7/16 of the pieces. This can be obtained by multiplying the fractions given with the total number.
Find the required number of pieces:
From the question it is given that,
Carries family broke a package of graham crackers into 32 pieces.
Therefore total number of pieces will be 32 pieces.
carries two brothers each ate 1/8 of the pieces
This means that out of 32, 1/8 of the pieces were ate by the two brothers.
1/8 of 32 = 1/8 × 32 = 4 pieces
⇒ Carries two brothers each ate 4 pieces
the rest of the family ate 7/16 of the pieces
This means that out of 32, 7/16 of the pieces were ate by the rest of the family
7/16 of 32 = 7/16 × 32 = 14 pieces
⇒ the rest of carries family ate 14 pieces
- To find the remaining pieces add the number of pieces ate by both carries brothers and the rest of the family and subtracting from the total number of pieces.
remaining pieces = 32 - (4 + 14) = 32 - 18 = 14 pieces
⇒ there were 14 pieces remaining
- carries two brothers each ate 4 pieces
- the rest of carries family ate 14 pieces
- there were 14 pieces remaining
Hence Carries two brothers each ate 4 pieces, the rest of carries family ate 14 pieces and there were 14 pieces remaining given that Carries family broke a package of graham crackers into 32 pieces.
