Question

Jessica has 1/3 of a bag of dog food to divide evenly between her 2 dogs. what fraction of the whole bag does Jessica give to each of her dogs? A. 1/2 B. 2/3 C. 1/6 D. 2/6

Answer 1

1/6 because you would change 1/3 to 2/6 and then divide that in half.

Answer 2

Explanation:

For this case, we must indicate which fraction of the bag Jessica gives to each dog, knowing that she divides the bag in equal parts.

For this, we divide:

\frac {\frac {1} {3}} {2} = \frac {1} {6}

Thus, Jessica gives each dogfrom the food bag.

Answer:

1/6
