Pete grabbed 18 mixed nuts, StartFraction 2 Over 9 EndFraction of which were almonds. Which equation shows how to determine the number of almonds Pete grabbed?

Question

18 divided by StartFraction 2 Over 9 EndFraction = 81
18 times StartFraction 2 Over 9 EndFraction = 4
StartFraction 2 Over 9 EndFraction divided by 18 = StartFraction 1 Over 81 EndFraction
StartFraction 9 Over 2 EndFraction divided by 18 = one-fourth

Answer 1

To determine how many almonds Pete grabbed from the 18 mixed nuts, you can use the fraction $\frac{2}{9}$ to express the number of almonds. The number of almonds can be calculated as follows:

$$\text{Number of almonds}=\text{Total nuts}\times \text{Fraction of almonds}$$

So, the equation becomes:

$$\text{Number of almonds}=18\times \frac{2}{9}$$

Calculating this gives:

$$18\times \frac{2}{9}=4$$

Therefore, the correct equation from your options that shows how to determine the number of almonds Pete grabbed is:

18 times $\frac{2}{9}$ = 4.
