Question

Mr. Kirby decided to make a healthy snack for the 20 students in his class. He gave each student a dish of yogurt, and divided 6 cups of strawberries equally among the dishes. How many cups of strawberries did each student get in their yogurt? Write your answer as a proper fraction or mixed number.

Answer 1

Each student got ⅛ cup of strawberries in their yogurt.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many cups of strawberries each student got in their yogurt, we need to divide the total number of cups of strawberries, which is 6, among the 20 students.

We can do this by dividing 6 by 20. This gives us the fraction ⅛ or 0.3 cups of strawberries per student.

Therefore, each student got ⅛ cup of strawberries in their yogurt.

Answer 2

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

How many cups of strawberries did each student get in their yogurt?

We are looking for cups of strawberries, per yogurt. There are 6 cups of strawberries. There are 20 yogurts (one yogurt per student). Plugging this in:

`(6cups of strawberries )/(20 yogurts)`

=
`(3)/(10)`

(reducing by eliminating a factor of two from the numerator and denominator)
