Answer 1

86

Explanation:

Answer 2

`Fraction = (1)/(4)`

Explanation:

Given

`Pie = (3)/(4)`

`Workers = 3`

Required

Determine the fraction received by each worker

To do this, we simply divide the fraction of the pie by the number of workers.

`Fraction = (Pie)/(Workers)`

`Fraction = (3)/(4)/3`

Convert to multiplication

`Fraction = (3)/(4) * (1)/(3)`

`Fraction = (3)/(12)`

Divide numerator and denominator by 3

`Fraction = (3/3)/(12/3)`

`Fraction = (1)/(4)`
