Question

Sarah has 4/7 pounds of flour. She is splitting the flour into 5 containers

with the same amount in each container. How much flour will be in each
container? *

Answer 1

4/35

Why?

To figure this out I had to make 5 into a fraction. 5/1. Now, I had to find a common denominator. 35. From there I changed both fractions, divided them, and got my answer.

Answer 2

4/35 pounds

Explanation:

4/7 ÷ 5 is the same as

`(4)/(7) * (1)/(5)`

4x1/7x5

= 4/35
