Please help me now I don’t know what to do

Answer 1

Answer(let me know if you need help at a certain point in this explanation):

1/5 of the marbles to each friend

Step-by-step explanation:

17(marbles)*5(each friend)=85(total marbles) meaning, 17(marbles for each friend)/85(total marbles), or when simplified 1/5 of the total marbles for each friend

Answer 2

Hello!

Answer:

`\Large \boxed{ \sf(1)/(5) }`

Step-by-step explanation:

We have this formula:

`\sf Fraction = (marbles ~per ~friend )/(total ~of~ marbles)`

We know:

`\sf marbles ~per ~friend = 17`

`\sf total ~of ~marbles= 85`

So:

`\sf Fraction = (17 )/(85)`

Simplify the fraction:

`\sf(17 )/(85) = (17*1)/(17*5) =\boxed{ \sf(1)/(5) }`
