Question

Nina had 9 apples to share with 5 of her friends. If all 6 people get equal share , how many apples will each person get? How do u know?

Answer 1

If you would like to know how many apples will each person get, you can calculate this using the following steps:

5 friends + Nina = 5 + 1 = 6
9 apples / 6 people = 9 / 6 = 3/2 = 1.5 apples

Result: Each person will get 1.5 apples.

Answer 2

Nina + her 5 friends = 6 people
Then she has 9 apple to share with her and her friends.
Let’s calculate how many apple will each people get when they equally divide it with each other:
=> 9 – 6 = 3
Thus already have 1 apple each, now, let’s divide the remaining 3 apples
=> 3 / 6 = .5
So they have half of apple each. Let’s add
=> 1 + .5 = 1.5
Each person will get 1.5 apple.
=> 1.5 * 6 = 9
