Question

one person is shared a sandwich between two people. what fraction of the sandwich would Each one get? show the work an write a equation & solution

Answer 1

There are 2 people.

They will share 1 sandwich.

Thus, the sandwich (only 1) would be divided into 2 parts.

Each person will get 1 out of 2 parts.

We can write:

`2x=1`

Where "x" is the portion of sandwich one of them get. Solving for x >>>

`\begin{gathered} 2x=1 \\ x=(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

Each gets half.
