Jim and Pam bought x quarts of ice cream for a party. If 10 people attended the party, including Jim and Pam, ate all the ice cream, and each person ate the same account of ice cream, which of the following represents the account of ice cream, in quarts, eaten by each person at the party?

Options

A. `10x`
B. `5x`
C. `(x)/(5)`
D. `(x)/(10)`

Answer

To find the amount of ice cream eaten by each person at the party, we can follow these steps:

1. **Identify the total amount of ice cream**: Jim and Pam bought a total of \( x \) quarts of ice cream.

2. **Determine the total number of people at the party**: There were 10 people at the party, including Jim and Pam.

3. **Calculate the amount of ice cream eaten by each person**: Since all the ice cream was consumed and it was equally distributed among the 10 people, we need to divide the total amount of ice cream \( x \) by the number of people (10).

\[ \text{Amount of ice cream eaten by each person} = \frac{x}{10} \]

Thus, the amount of ice cream eaten by each person at the party is \( \frac{x}{10} \) quarts.
