Question

A student 2/3 has gallons of candy to give away. He wants to split it evenly between his 9 friends. How much candy does each friend receive?

Answer 1

To split 2/3 gallons of candy evenly between 9 friends, each friend will receive 2/27 gallons of candy.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can divide the amount of candy by the number of friends. So, if the student has 2/3 gallons of candy and wants to split it evenly between 9 friends, we can calculate:

2/3 ÷ 9 = 2/3 × 1/9 = 2/27 gallons

Therefore, each friend will receive 2/27 gallons of candy.
