Dayle and his two brothers each eat 5/12 (five-twelfths) of a chocolate bar. How much chocolate bar did they eat altogether? Solve, show your work, and record your answer on a piece of scratch paper. *

N = 5/4 = 1.25

Altogether they eat 1.25 chocolate bar

Step-by-step explanation:

Dayle and his two brothers each eat 5/12 (five-twelfths) of a chocolate bar;

Three of them ate = 5/12 chocolate bar each

Total for the 3 of them N;

N = 3 × 5/12 = 15/12

N = 5/4 = 1.25

Altogether they eat 1.25 chocolate bar

hm let me think hm think think hm think yes

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
