Question

8 Kiara has a bag with 9 oranges. She shares the oranges between 3 friends and herself. Write an equation to model the situation. How many oranges does each person receive?

Answer 1

9 oranges shared between 4 persons

x = 9/4

Oranges for each person = 9/(number of persons)

In this case, number of persons = 4

Oranges for each person = 9/4

Oranges for each person = 2.25 oranges (also we can write 2 1/4)
