Given that:

22 people share 333 chocolate bars equally. Each chocolate bar is the same size.

To Find:

Solve:

Since, it given us that 22 people share 333 chocolate bars equally and how much chocolate does each person gets. Therefore we have to divide the chocolate bars by the number of people.

Rounding to nearest tenth: 15.14

Now put 15.14 over 1


(15.14)/(1)

Multiply both by 100


(15.14)/(1)*(100)/(100)


=(1514)/(100)


=(1514/2)/(100/2)


=(757)/(50)

Turning into mixed number:


15(7)/(50)

Thus, each person get about
15(7)/(50) chocolate

(15.14)/(1) * (100)/(100)


= (1514)/(100)


(1514 / 2)/(100 / 2)


= (757)/(50)


= 15 (7)/(50)
