Question

Eight friends ate 5/8 of a bag of chips what fraction of the bag did each person eat assuming that they each ate the same amount?

Answer 1

Given: 8 friends ate (5/8)TH fraction of a bag of chips.

And Each one ate the same fraction.

Then; The fraction of chips consumed by one person is (1/8)TH of (5/8)

i.e. =

`(1)/(8) ( (5)/(8) ) \\ = (5)/(64)`

Hope it helps...

Answer 2

Option B.
`(5)/(64)` of the bag.

Explanation:

Eight friends ate
`(5)/(8)` of a bag of chips in the same amount.

We have to find the quantity that each person ate the chips.

Each friend ate =
`(5)/(8)` ÷ 8

=
`(5)/(8)` ×
`(1)/(8)`

=
`(5)/(64)`

Therefore, each friend ate
`(5)/(64)` of the bag of chips.

Option B is the answer.
