Question

A miner has 3 kilograms of gold dust. She needs to share it evenly with four partners. How much gold should each of the five people get?

Answer 1

600 grams

Explanation:

You want to know how much each person gets if they share 3 kg of gold dust equally among 5 people.

Share

Each share is 1/5 of the total amount:

(1/5)(3 kg) = 3/5 kg = 0.6 kg = 600 g

Each of the 5 people gets 0.6 kg, or 600 g.
