Question

A bag of rare spice that weighs 2/3 pounds will be split equally among 12 people. How much spice will each person get

Answer 1

Each person will get 1/18 pounds of spice from the bag

Explanation:

Divide 2/3 by 12:

Make 12 a fraction by adding 1 as the denominator:

2/3 ÷ 12/1

Reciprocate the second fraction:

2/3 ÷ 1/12

Turn it into multiplication:

2/3 x 1/12 = 2/36

SIMPLIFY 2/36:

2/36

Divide both sides by 2:

1/18

so your answer is 1/18

I hope I helped!
