Question

Four friends share 3 sheets of construction paper equally. What fraction

of a sheet of paper does each friend get?

Answer 1

3/4 of each sheet

Explanation:

You have to divide the number of sheets of paper by the number of people sharing them, which gives you 3/4. This makes sense because if there are more people than paper, each person will get less than a full sheet.

Answer 2

0.75 or 3/4 sheet of paper
