Answer 1

0.8 or 4/5

Explanation:

4/5=.8 4.8/6=.8

Answer 2

first off let's convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction, and then do the division, since it was divided among all 6, he and 5 friends.

`\bf \stackrel{mixed}{4(4)/(5)}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 5+4}{5}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{24}{5}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{24}{5}/ 6\implies \cfrac{24}{5}/ \cfrac{6}{1}\implies \cfrac{24}{5}\cdot \cfrac{1}{6}\implies \cfrac{24}{6}\cdot \cfrac{1}{5}\implies \cfrac{4}{1}\cdot \cfrac{1}{5}\implies \cfrac{4}{5}`
