Question

A container holds 2/3 gallon of apple juice if four people from the cross country track team share the juice equally how much juice will each team member get?

Answer 1

1/6

Explanation:

To make this fraction easily divisible, we can multiply the numerator and denominator. We know if we multiply by 4, we can divide. So, our new fraction is 8/12. Now, we have to divide just the numerator by 4. That leaves us with 2/12 for each team member. We can simplify this down to 1/6, by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2 afterwards.
