Question

beyonce michelle and kelly shared a carton of soft drink containing 2 dozen cans. Beyonce takes 3/8 Michelle takes 5/12 and kelly takes 5./24/ How many cans does each person receive?

Answer 1

Beyonce gets 9 cans worth, Michelle drinks 10 cans worth of soft drink and kelly receives 5 cans worth.

Dozen = 12 so 2 dozens = 12x2=24

3/8 = 9/24 because 8x3=24 & 3x3=9
5/12 =10/24 because 12x2=24 & 5x2=10
5/24 is fine because it is already out of 24
