Question

Darelene has 3/4 lb. of almonds. She needs to share it equally among 6 freinds. How many will each freind be given ( please show step by step explanation)

Answer 1

1/8 lb. of almonds for each of her 6 friends

Explanation:

So i'm doing this in school too. This is how I would do it.

She has 3/4 lb. of almonds, and she needs to split it with 6 friends.

So what you would do is do 3/4 ÷ 6/1

To divide one fraction by another, invert (turn upside-down) the second fraction, then multiply. Cancelling by a common factor of 3 gives 1 /8.

I hope this helps!
