Question

Together Emily and Charlotte have a total of 60 strawberries Emily eats four times the amount that Charlotte eats how many strawberries does Charlotte eat?

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were asking how many strawberries it would take to finish all 60, this is the answer, otherwise please rephrase the question.

If Charlotte ate 12 strawberries, you would have to do 12 x 4 which would be four times the amount of strawberries Charlotte ate, 12 x 4 = 48, Emily ate 48 strawberries, 48 + 12 = 60.

Answer 2

Charlotte eats 12 strawberries.

Let the amount of strawberries eaten by Charlotte be represented by x.

Since Emily eats four times the amount that Charlotte eats, then Emily will eat:

= (4 × x) = 4x.

Since Emily and Charlotte have a total of 60 strawberries, then this will be:

4x + x = 60

5x = 60

x = 60/5

x = 12

Therefore, Charlotte eats 12 strawberries.
