Question

wen and five friend equally share (1)/(3) of a pan of snake bars. which expressions show how much of the pan each oerson gets?

Answer 1

Each person gets 1/18 of the pan of snack bars by dividing (1)/(3) by the total number of people, which is 6 (the student and five friends).

Step-by-step explanation:

The student and five friends are sharing (1)/(3) of a pan of snack bars. To find out how much of the pan each person gets, you divide (1)/(3) by the total number of people. There are 6 people in total (the student plus five friends). The expression to show how much of the pan each person gets is therefore (1/3) ÷ 6, which can also be written as (1/3) * (1/6). When you multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators (top numbers) and the denominators (bottom numbers) separately. So, (1/3) * (1/6) = 1/18. Each person gets 1/18 of the pan of snack bars.
