Question

Three teachers equally shared StartFraction 4 Over 5 EndFraction of a flat of paper that was donated to the school. What fraction of the flat of paper did each teacher receive?

Answer 1

(4/5) / 3 =

4/5 * 1/3 =

4/15 <== each teacher received 4/15 of a flat

Answer 2

`Each = (4)/(15)`

Explanation:

Given

`Fraction = (4)/(5)`

`Teachers = 3`

Required

Determine fraction of each teacher

Each fraction is calculated by dividing total fraction by number of teachers as follows:

`Each = (Fraction)/(Teachers)`

`Each = (4)/(5)/3`

`Each = (4)/(5) * (1)/(3)`

`Each = (4)/(15)`
