Question

For every 14 ice-cream cones you buy, you get 2 free. How many free ice-cream cones will you get if you buy 56 cones?

Answer 1

14/2 = 56/x (14 to 2 free = 56 to x free)
cross multiply
14x = (2)(56)
14x = 112
x = 112/14
x = 8
you will get 8 free when buying 56

Answer 2

or you could have just done 56/14 x 2 = 8

Answer 3

do you have any questions at all ?
