Question

At the end of a party 5/6 cup of dip is left jim divides 6/7 of the left over dip between 3 friends

Answer 1

`(5)/(21)`

Explanation:

From the question,the left cup of dip is

`(5)/(6)`

Jim divides 6/7 cup of the left over ,5/6 dip between 3 friends

This implies that,

`((6)/(7)* (5)/(6))/3`

We first simplify what is in the bracket to obtain

`(5)/(7)/ 3`

we now reciprocate 3 and change the division symbol to multiplication

This implies that,

`(5)/(7)*(1)/(3)= (5*1)/(7* 3)= (5)/(21)`

Hence each friend of Jim receives 5/21 cup of the left over dip

Answer 2

`(5)/(21)`

Explanation:

From the question,the left cup of dip is

`(5)/(6)`

Jim divides 6/7 cup of the left over ,5/6 dip between 3 friends

This implies that,

`((6)/(7)* (5)/(6))/3`

We first simplify what is in the bracket to obtain

`(5)/(7)/ 3`

we now reciprocate 3 and change the division symbol to multiplication

This implies that,

`(5)/(7)*(1)/(3)= (5*1)/(7* 3)= (5)/(21)`

Hence each friend of Jim receives 5/21 cup of the left over dip
