Question

Jenny and her two friends have one and 4/5 pie left over after a bake sale at school. They divide the pie evenly among themselves. How much pie in each student revive?

Answer 1

Each student receives 3/5 th of pie

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The available pie left, P = 1 4/5

- The pie each gets after division = x

- There are n = 3 people ( Jenny and her two friends ).

- The leftover pie is to be evenly divided between all three people. We will express the amount of pie each student receive "x" in terms of Left over pie "P":

n*x = P

- We will plug in the values and solve for x:

3x = 1 4/5

3x = 1.8

x = 0.6 = 3/5 pie

- Each student will receive 3/5 pie.
