Question

Malia has

1/8 liter of juice. She distributes it equally to 3 students in her tutoring group. What fraction of the juice does each student get?

Answer 1

`(1)/(24)`

Explanation:

`(1)/(8)/ \:3`

`\mathrm{Convert\:element\:to\:fraction}:\quad \:3=(3)/(1)`

`=(1)/(8)/ (3)/(1)`

`=(1)/(8)* (1)/(3)`

`\mathrm{Multiply\:fractions}:\quad (a)/(b)* (c)/(d)=(a\:* \:c)/(b\:* \:d)`

`=(1* \:1)/(8* \:3)`

`\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:1* \:1=1`

`=(1)/(8* \:3)`

`\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:8* \:3=24`

`=(1)/(24)`

Thus, 1/24 on fraction of juice each student get.

Answer 2

Answer: 1/24 L

Explanation:

`$(1)/(8) L / 3= (1)/(8) / (3)/(1)= (1)/(8) * (1)/(3)=(1)/(24) \quad$ \\\\\begin{aligned}\therefore \text { Each student will get } &(1)/(24) L \text { of juice. }\end{aligned}`
