Answer 1

Answer: 23 cans of soda/4 people.

or (23/4) cans of soda per person.

Explanation:

So we have the rate:

46 cans of soda/ 8 people

First, 46 and 8 are multiples of 2, so we can divide both numerator and denominator by 2:

46/2 = 23

8/2 = 4

Then the rate can be:

23 cans of soda/4 people.

Now 23 is a prime number, so we can not simplify it furthermore
