Question

If 8 people share 21 muffins, how many does each person get?

Answer 1

`(21)/(8)or\text{ 2}\frac{\frac{5}{}}{8}`

Step-by-step explanation

The total number of muffins is 21.

To find out how many muffins each person will receive, you have to divide the total number of muffins by the number of people it is to be shared with;

`\begin{gathered} x=(21)/(8) \\ =2.625 \end{gathered}`

Each person will receive 2.625 muffins
