Question

Jose gave 3 1/3 brownies to Emily and 5 1/5 brownies to Amy. Amy gave her share equally to 4 different friends. how many brownies did each friend receive

Answer 1

1.3

or


`1 (1)/(3)`

Answer 2

Brownies given to Emily

`3(1)/(3)`

Brownies given to Amy

`5(1)/(5) =(26)/(5)`

But Amy gave her share to 4 different friends.

So Brownies received by each friend

`(26)/(5) /(4)/(1)`

`(26)/(5) .(1)/(4)`

`(26)/(20)= (13)/(10)`

`1(3)/(10)`

[Each friend received] 1\frac{3}{10} [/brownies]
