Question

A tropical cream is sold in a 26 gram container. The average amount of topical cream used per application is 2/5 grams. How many applications can be made with the container?

Answer 1

26 grams total.
2/5 grams per application.
2/5 = 0.4 grams

Set up an equation:
26 = 0.4a
a = applications.

Solve for a:
\[26 \div 0.4 = a\]
\[65 = a\]

So 65 applications can be made per one container.
