Question

1. Rita has 3 ¾ cups of potato chips to share with 6 friends. How many cups does EACH friend get

Answer 1

5/8 cups

You divide 3 3/4 by 6 so

3.75/6 = 0.625

Then make that back into a fraction
0.625= 5/8

There’s a different way where you keep it a fraction but it takes longer so here you go I hope it helps some.

Answer 2

Each friend will get 5/8 (excluding Rita)

Each person will get 15/28 (including Rita)

Explanation:

You must simply divide 3 3/4 ÷ 6 (excluding Rita)

You must simply divide 3 3/4 ÷ 7 (including Rita)
