Question

Elena has 12 pieces of banana bread. She gives an equal amount of banana bread to five friends. How many pieces of banana bread does she give each friend?

Answer 1

`2 (2)/(5)`

Explanation:

Try dividing 12 and 5. What a surprise it doesn't work. 5×2=10. 12÷5=10 r2. r2=
`(2)/(5)`. 2+
`(2)/(5)`=
`2 (2)/(5)`.

Answer 2

Since Elena has 12 bananas and 5 friends we divide 12 by 5 and we will get 2.4 , 2.4 in mixed fraction form is 2 and 2/5.

Thus Elena gives 2 and 2/5 banana bread to his friends.

Hope this answer will be a good help for you.
