Answer 1

Answer: 1) 5/6

2) 3/8

3) 4/8 OR 1/2

4) 12/5lb OR 2 2/5lb OR 2.4lb

5) 4/5

5/4 OR 1 1/4

12/30 OR 2/5

30/12 OR 5/2 OR 2 1/2

Explanation:

• For question 1, 5 cakes are divided between 6 people. The equation is 5 divided by 6, which equals 5/6
• For question 2, 3 pizzas are shared equally between 8 people. The equation is 3 divided by 8, which is congruent to 3/8
• For question 3, 4 granola bars are shared equally between 8 people. The equation is 4 divided by eight, which is equal to 4/8, which is equal to 1/2
• For question 4, Mary brought 12 pounds of blueberries to make 5 pies. The equation is 12 divided by 5, which is equal to 12/5, which is equal to 2 2/5, which is equal to 2.4lbs of blueberries in each pie.
• For question(s) 5, 4 ÷ 5 = 4/5, 5 ÷ 4 = 5/4 or 1 1/4, 12 ÷ 30 = 12/30 or 2/5, and 30 ÷ 12 = 30/12, 5/2, or 2 1/2

Answer 2

Explanation:1.) Each person receives 5/6 of a cake.

To see why, we can think of dividing the 5 cakes into 6 equal parts. This would give us 30 equal parts, and each person would receive 5 of these parts. So, the fraction of a cake each person receives is:

5/30 = 1/6

2.) Each person receives 3/8 of a pizza.

To see why, we can think of dividing the 3 pizzas into 8 equal parts. This would give us 24 equal parts, and each person would receive 3 of these parts. So, the fraction of a pizza each person receives is:

3/24 = 1/8

3.) Each person receives 1/2 of a granola bar.

To see why, we can think of dividing the 4 granola bars into 8 equal parts. This would give us 32 equal parts, and each person would receive 4 of these parts. So, the fraction of a granola bar each person receives is:

4/32 = 1/8

1/8 ÷ 2 = 1/16

So, each person receives 1/2 of a granola bar, which is equal to 1/8 ÷ 2 = 1/16.

4.) Each pie has 2.4 pounds of blueberries.

To see why, we can divide the 12 pounds of blueberries by the 5 pies:

12 ÷ 5 = 2.4

So, each pie has 2.4 pounds of blueberries.

5.)

4 ÷ 5 = 4/5

5 ÷ 4 = 1 1/4

12 ÷ 30 = 2/5

30 ÷ 12 = 2 1/2
