Answer:

[See Below]

Explanation:

"Tyler and Robin wanted to surprise their friend Johnny with cupcakes for his birthday. They cook 5/6 of the Cupcake pan. The party commences the next day and they split 1/3 of the cupcakes. How much cupcakes does each person get?"

✦ Turn the fractions into decimal:


  • (5)/(6) =0.833333333

  • (1)/(3) =0.333333333

✦ Divide:


  • 0.833333333/0.333333333=2.5

✦ Turn the decimal back into a fraction:


  • (25)/(10) =(5)/(2) =2 (1)/(2)

So the answer would be
2.5~or~2 (1)/(2).
