The document is a math investigation about how much chocolate and vanilla ice cream to purchase for a party of 350 people. It determines that 140 people will want chocolate ice cream, requiring 35,000 grams or 47 containers of chocolate ice cream. The remaining 210 people will want vanilla ice cream, needing 52,500 grams or 70 containers of vanilla ice cream.

Solution
A) To answer the first question, we can divide 350 into 35 groups of 10 people. Since 35 x 10 is 350,
Four people in each of these groups prefer chocolate flavored ice-cream. Since there was 35 groups,
then there are 140 people who wants chocolate.
B) Since everyone will want 250 grams of ice-cream and 140 people will eat chocolate ice-cream, than
it is
140 x 250 = 35000. 35000 grams of ice cream should be purchased.
Extension) If 140 people will eat chocolate ice-cream, then 350 - 140 = 210 people will eat the vanilla.
Since each person will eat 250g of ice-cream, then 210 x 250 = 52,500g of ice-cream will be eaten.
Since each container holds 250 of i-scream , then 350-140= 21o people will eat the vanilla.
Since each container holds 250g ice -cream, then 52, 500/ 750= 70 containers of vanilla will be bought.
Thus, 47 containers of chocolate ice-scream will be required.
