Question

5th grade math! Can someone help me out? Offering 20 points for both of these!

Answer 1

1) D. 8 2/6 hotdogs

2) B. 2 1/5 cakes

Explanation:

1) If she's dividing 50 hotdogs equally among 6 people, then you would divide 50 by 6 to find how many each person gets.
note: 50 ÷ 6 is the same as
`(50)/(6)`.

`(50)/(6)` =
`8(2)/(6)`

6 can go into fifty 8 times, so there is a whole number of 8. There is 2/6 left over, so the final result is
`8(2)/(6)`.

2) If Sako makes 11 cakes and wants to share it equally among 5 people, we can divide 11 by 5 to find how many each person gets.

`(11)/(5) =2(1)/(5)`

5 can go into eleven 2 times, so there is a whole number of 2. There is 1/5 leftover, so the final result is
`2(1)/(5)`.

Hence, the answers are D, and B.

hope this helps!

Answer 2

`8(2)/(6)\\\\2(1)/(5)`

Fractions are sometimes the same as dividing, for this case, that rule applies.

`(50)/(6)\\\\(11)/(5)`

↑ These improper fractions translate to...

`(50)/(6) = 8(1)/(3) -- > 8(2)/(6) \\\\ (11)/(5) = 2(1)/(5)`
