Answer 1

Colleen has 1/2 of a bag of popcorn left.

She would like to give the rest of her popcorn to five of her friends.

Number of friends = 5

Each friend is given the same amount of popcorn

Divide the amount of poprcorn left by the number of Friends

Each friend will get = 1/2 divided by 5

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)\text{ }/5=(1)/(2)*(1)/(5) \\ (1)/(2)\text{ }/5=(1)/(10) \end{gathered}`

Each friend will get = 1/10 of the bag
