Question

Timothy’s mom bought 7/8 of a pound of grapes. She wants to split it between 8 kids. What fraction of the grapes will each kid get?

A. 1/8

B. 7/64

C. 9/64

Answer 1

B. 7/64

Explanation:

Since Timothy's mom bought 7/8 of a pound of grapes, the amount of grapes that she will split between 8 kids will be:

7/8 ÷ 1/8 = 7/64

Therefore, each kid will get 7/64 of a pound of grapes, if the grapes are splitted equally.

Answer 2

Option B

7/64

Explanation:

Since the she bought 7/8 of a pound of grapes, the amount of grapes that Timothy's mum will be sharing is only 7/8 of a pound

Total number of kids = 6

To get the amount that each kid will get, we will have to divide 7/8 by 6

Hence we have

`(7)/(8) * (1)/(6)= (7)/(64)`

Hence, each child will get 7/64 of a pound of grapes, if the grapes are shared equally.
