Answer:
Explanation:
If 2/3 of the cornbread is left after dinner and 4 friends want to share it equally, we need to determine how much cornbread each friend will receive.
To find the amount of cornbread each friend will receive, we need to divide the remaining cornbread by the number of friends.
Let's assume the total amount of cornbread is represented by "C".
The remaining cornbread is 2/3 of the total:
Remaining cornbread = (2/3) * C
Since there are 4 friends, we divide the remaining cornbread by 4 to find the amount each friend will receive:
Amount per friend = Remaining cornbread / Number of friends
= [(2/3) * C] / 4
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:
Amount per friend = [(2/3) * C] * (1/4)
= (2/3) * (1/4) * C
= (2/12) * C
= (1/6) * C
Therefore, each friend will receive 1/6 of the total amount of cornbread.
Note: Without the specific value of "C" representing the total amount of cornbread, we cannot determine the exact quantity each friend will receive.
