Answer 1

first we need to ask our self the question

Question: There is one third of a pie shared equally between 5 children. How much of the pie does each child receive?

__________________________________________________________

next we need to do the math. 1/3 divided by 5

i recommend turning the fractions into decimal points and then dividing them. after doing that we have the answer 0.067. but that is not a option. so turn it into a fraction! and we get 1/15.
