The Smiths purchased 6 containers of ice cream for a party. Each container holds 9 cups of ice cream
Before the party, their sons ate 3 cups of ice cream altogether

What fraction of the original amount ice cream purchased did the Smiths’ sons eat?
1. 1/3
2. 2/3
3. 1/18
4. 17/18

17/18

Step-by-step explanation: Multiply the amount of containers and the amount of cups in each container. Subtract 3. This is 51 out of 54, simplify this and get 17 out of 18.

the answer is 1/18

Step-by-step explanation:

6×9=54-3=51.

One third and two thirds are too large for the amount he ate, so is 17/18s.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
