Question

Kyle has 1 3 of a gallon of apple juice. If he divides the apple juice into 5 equal servings, how much apple juice will he have in each serving?

Answer 1

To find the amount of apple juice in each serving, divide the total amount of apple juice by the number of servings. Kyle will have 3/25 of a gallon of apple juice in each serving.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of apple juice in each serving, divide the total amount of apple juice by the number of servings. Kyle has 1 3 of a gallon of apple juice. Since there are 5 servings, he needs to divide 1 3 of a gallon by 5.

First, convert 1 3 of a gallon to the equivalent fraction in fifths. 3 fifths of a gallon is equal to 1 3 of a gallon.

Now, divide 3 fifths of a gallon by 5 to find the amount of apple juice in each serving. 3 fifths divided by 5 is equal to 3 fifths times the reciprocal of 5, which is 3 fifths times 1 over 5. This simplifies to 3 fifths times 1 fifth, which is 3 fifths multiplied by 1 over 5. Multiplying the numerators (3 times 1) and the denominators (5 times 5) gives us a final answer of 3 over 25. So, Kyle will have 3/25 of a gallon of apple juice in each serving.

Answer 2

He would be serving 2.5 gallons each.
