Question

N were to share the juice equally, how much would each child get?

Answer 1

Please let me know what is the amount of juice to be shared equally among n people.

Please share an image of the problem so I can see the values in question.

What is the amount of juice to be shared?

Whatever that value is, you divide it by the number of children present.

Another problem seems to be show which number is smaller and which one is larger between the following:

`1\text{ }(2)/(3)\text{ and 3}`

So, we proceed to write the mixed number as an improper fraction:

`1\text{ }(2)/(3)=1+(2)/(3)=(3)/(3)+(2)/(3)=\text{ }(5)/(3)`

and on the other hand, the number 3 can be written as 9/3 (nine thirds)

Therefore, since the mixed number is 5/3 and 3 is 9/3, we see clearly that 5/3 is smaller than 9/3 : One shows 5 of the "thirds" while the other one involves 9 of the "thirds".

Now it seems that you want to add the mixed number plus the 3. so, since they already are expressed with the same DENOMINATOR, we can easily add them:

`1(2)/(3)+3=(5)/(3)+(9)/(3)=(14)/(3)=4\text{ }(2)/(3)`
