Question

Jackson wants to divide 40 candles equally among 8 friends

Answer 1

Given:

Jackson wants to divide 40 candles equally among 8 friends

So, the number of candles that each friend will get =

`(40)/(8)`

We will simplify the fraction as follows:

`(40)/(8)=(5*8)/(1*8)=(5)/(1)`

So, the answer will be 5/1
