Question

Five strawberry pies were bought for three sports teams to share equally. How much does each sport team get?

Answer 1

Each sports team gets
`1(2)/(3)` of strawberry pies

Solution:

Given that Five strawberry pies were bought for three sports teams to share equally

To find: share of each sport team

Total number of strawberry pies = 5

Number of sports team = 3

Therefore, share of each sport team can be found by dividing total number of strawberry pies by number of sports team

`\text{ share of each sport team } = \frac{\text{ total number of strawberry pie }}{ \text{ number of sports team }}`

`\rightarrow (5)/(3) = 1.67`

In mixed fractions, we can write as,

`(5)/(3) = 1(2)/(3)`

So each sports team gets
`1(2)/(3)` of strawberry pies
