Question

A pitcher of punch is 1/3 full. 5 people share the punch equally. How much of the remaining punch do they each get?

Answer 1

Answer:1 / 15 of the pitcher

Explanation:

The pitcher is 1/3 full and 5 people want to equally share it.

The equal amount is found by dividing 1/3 by 5:

= 1/3 ÷ 5

= 1/3 * 1/5

= 1/15 of the pitcher

Each person gets 1/5 of the pitcher
