Question

David bought 5/6 of a pound of candy. He would like to split it between his 5 friends. What fraction of the candy will each friend receive?

Answer 1

• Each friend will get 1/6 pounds of candy.

Explanation:

We know that:

• David buys 5/6 pounds of candy.
• David splits it among his 5 friends.

Now, we know that:

• 5/6 - (1/6 * 5) should be the equation.

Now, we solve:

• 5/6 - (1/6 * 5)
• = 5/6 - 5/6
• = 0.

Each friend will get 1/6 pounds of candy.
