Question

Jason divides 8 pounds of dog food equally among 6 dogs . Draw a diagram and explain how you can use it to find the amount of food each dog receives. HELP

Answer 1

6÷8=1 2/6 and it's even then divide 2/6 into 2 and that's1/3. The answer is 1 1/3

Answer 2

Answer: Each dog will get
`1(1)/(3)` pounds.

Explanation:

In the below diagram,

There is a grid having 8 parts in every part is of 1 pound,

Now, we have to divide these parts in 6 parts,

⇒
`Parts give to 6 dogs = 8`

⇒
`Parts give to 1 dog = (8)/(6)=1(2)/(6)=1(1)/(3)`

Hence, each dog will get
`1(1)/(3)` pounds.
