Final answer:

To determine how much fruit punch each of 8 friends gets from 1/3 of a gallon, convert the gallon into ounces (128 ounces) and then divide by 3 to get ounces per 1/3 gallon. Afterward, divide by 8 to find the amount per friend, resulting in each friend receiving approximately 5.33 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fractions and Division

The question you're asking has to do with dividing a quantity of fruit punch, which is measured in gallons, among a number of friends. In this case, you have 1/3 of a gallon of fruit punch that you want to share evenly between 8 friends. To find out how much each friend gets, you would divide 1/3 by 8.

To convert the gallon to a more manageable unit, we can first express 1 gallon as 128 fluid ounces. Since you have 1/3 of a gallon, you would calculate 128 ounces divided by 3 to find out how many ounces 1/3 of a gallon is. After that, you divide that number by 8 to determine how much each friend receives.

  1. First, find out how many ounces are in 1/3 of a gallon: 128 ounces / 3 = 42.66 ounces (rounded to two decimal places for simplicity).
  2. Then, divide that number by 8 to find out how much each friend gets: 42.66 ounces / 8 = 5.33 ounces (each friend gets approximately 5.33 ounces of fruit punch).
