Question

During snack time at preschool, the teacher divided 2/3 of a gallon of milk evenly between 2 students. How much milk did each student get?

Answer 1

Answer:
`(1)/(3)` gallon of milk

Explanation:

We will divide 2/3 by 2 to find the answer to this problem.

Given:

2/3 / 2

"Keep, change, flip"

2/3 * 1/2

Multiply and simplify

2/6 = 1/3 gallon of milk

Another way to this of this is that we have 2 third gallons of milk. If there are two students, then 2 / 2 = 1. Each student will get one-third, or 1/3 gallon of milk.
