Question

6 people equally share 56 gummy worms. How many gummy worms does each person get?

A. 9 1/6 gummy worms
B. 9 2/6 gummy worms
C. 10 1/6 gummy worms
D. 10 2/8 gummy worms

Answer 1

B. 9 2/6 is the correct answer because

You divide 56/6
56/6 = 28/3 which is 9 1/3. (Same as 9 2/6)

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

B: 9 2/6 gummy worms

Explanation:

You can't divide 56 equally with 6, so you have to find the nearest dividable number. That number is 54. 54 divided by 6 is 9, which eliminates option C and D. Since 56-54 (the number we took) is 2, the answer is B.
