Answer:
To determine how many cookies were eaten, 28 can be multiplied by which decimal value of 0.4
Explanation:
Total number of cookies = 28
Fraction of Cookies uneaten at the end of the day = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Hence number of cookies uneaten by the end of the day =[tex]\frac{3}{5} \times28 = 16.8 = 17[/tex]
Suppose [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] cookies are uneaten hence the total fraction of the eaten cookies will be
=[tex]5 - \frac{3}{5} =\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
To obtain in decimal value of [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{2}{5} = 0.4[/tex]
Hence 28 should be multiplied with 0.4 to determine the number of cookies which are eaten
