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
