Question

How much chocolate will each person get if 5 people share ½ lb of chocolate equally? (6NS1)

Answer 1

Answer: 1/6

Explanation:

In this problem you would need to divide 1/2 by 3 so...

1

--- ÷ 3

2

1 1

--- = ---

2 * 3 6

When multiplying fractions by whole numbers you just multiple the denominator by the number.

Then you would simplify the fraction but in this case 1/6 is as simple as it would get.

Answer 2

1/10 each

Explanation:

1 whole is equal to 10/10 and 5/10 is equal to half. Do if you only have 5/10 and you have 5 people they get 1/10 each
