Question

Stanley has 200 chocolate bars. He eats 8/9. What does Stanley have now?

Answer 1

Nope.

Answer 2

I know enough about math to know that is incorrect.

Answer 3

Divide by 8?

Answer 4

divide 9 and 8

Answer 5

I think it's 200/1 divided by 8/9

Answer 6

then divide 200 by the answer

Answer 7

I just want to know if that's right.

Answer 8

^That would make more sense XD @Peach3113

Answer 9

As Yeah it correct

Answer 10

8/9 is a fraction, and 200 is the whole. You need to divide it and turn 200 into a fraction so 200/1 / 8/9. Is that wrong?

Answer 11

I think that'd be right, thanks AnimeWover.

Answer 12

You are trying to find 8/9 of 200.
In math, "of" usually means "times."
8/9 of 200 means 8/9 times 200.

\(\dfrac{8}{9} \times 200 = \dfrac{8}{9} \times \dfrac{200}{1} = \dfrac{8 \times 200}{9 \times 1} \)

Can you finish now?

Answer 13

Answer 14

Okay, yes, thank you @mathstudent55

Answer 15

I'm wrong?

Answer 16

Answer 17

@AnimeWover
You are dividing. The problem needs multiplication.

Answer 18

800/1= 800. How is that correct?

Answer 19

He only had 200.

Answer 20

I understand that diving fractions is basically multiplying. But I also got 800/1 = 800. Um?

Answer 21

@AnimeWover Yeah idk. XD I'm losing my mind over this question.

Answer 22

wait 200 x 8 isn't 800

200 x 8 = 1000.

Answer 30

1600 / 9???

Answer 31

177 is 1600 / 9....

Answer 32

177.something

Answer 33

Here is the original question:
"Stanley has 200 chocolate bars. He eats 8/9. What does Stanley have now?"

Here is what it means:
"Stanley has 200 chocolate bars. He eats 8/9 of the 200 chocolate bars. What does Stanley have now?" The answer is "Now he has 1/9 of the 200 chocolate bars."

You can use the calculation I did above to find 8/9 of the bars, and then subtract that number form 200, or you can just calculate 1/9 of 200.

Answer 34

I just know that stanley must have diabetes
