Question

Ben has half a loaf of bread if he and his three friends want to share it with me how much of the whole loaf from each person get and how wold we represent our work

Answer 1

Each person would get 1/10 because if you are only taking half of it, the remaining half is still there. The pieces are going to be smaller than 5s or 2s, so it's gonna be divided into 0.1 or 1/10 since there are 5 people. I hope this helps :)

Explanation:

1/2 a loaf of bread

Ben, his three friends, and you = 5 people

1/2 divided by 5 =?

1/10, you can do this with a model. Draw a whole one, then cut half and divide evenly into 5 pieces. look at the whole again, each person will get 1/10.
