Question

A jug of water is 1/3 full If 5 children equally share the water what fraction of the jug does each child get

Answer 1

Each child get 1/15

Explanation:

we know that

To find out what fraction of the jug does each child get, divide the fraction of the jug by the number of children

Let

x -----> the fraction of the jug

y ----> number of children

we have

`x=(1)/(3)`

`y=5`

so

`(1/3)/5=(1)/(15)`

therefore

Each child get 1/15
