Question

Zeke cooked 1/3 of a bag of rice for a meal.He will served 3 people and there was no rice left over. What fraction of the bag of rice did each person eat?​

Answer 1

1/9

Explanation:

well since he only cooked 1/3 of the rice, and there were 3 people who ate it, we will divide 1/3 by 3, since technically 3 people ate 1/3 of whole rice bag :)

Equation: 1/3 divided by 3

Solve:

We will first change the whole number 3 to a fraction by adding 1 as its denominator:

3/1

now instead of dividing, I wil multiply, flipping the 3/1 = 1/3

and we get: 1/3 × 1/3 = 1/9,

hence, everyone ate 1/9 of the bag of rice.
