Mary prepared 40 pineapple fruit yogurt cups to sell at a school fair. She sold 5/8 of the cups. how many cups did Mary sell

Answer 1

To find out how many yogurt cups Mary sold, you can calculate $\frac{5}{8}$ of the 40 cups.

First, multiply the total number of cups by $\frac{5}{8}$:

$$\text{Number of cups sold}=40\times \frac{5}{8}$$

Now, perform the multiplication:

$$40\times \frac{5}{8}=\frac{40\times 5}{8}=\frac{200}{8}=25$$

So, Mary sold 25 yogurt cups.
