Question

Jacob kept track of the types of ice cream sundaes he served today.
Sundaes served
Hot fudge Caramel sauce
Brownie sundae 5 7
Cookie sundae 4 6
What fraction of brownie sundaes had caramel sauce?

7/13 or 13/22 or 7/12 or 7/22

Answer 1

To find the fraction of brownie sundaes that had caramel sauce, we need to determine the total number of brownie sundaes served and how many of those had caramel sauce.

From the information provided:

- Total brownie sundaes served: 5 (with hot fudge) + 7 (with caramel sauce) = **12 brownie sundaes**

- Brownie sundaes with caramel sauce: **7**

Now, we can form the fraction of brownie sundaes that had caramel sauce:

\[
\text{Fraction} = \frac{\text{Brownie sundaes with caramel sauce}}{\text{Total brownie sundaes}} = \frac{7}{12}
\]

Therefore, the answer is \( \frac{7}{12} \).
