Question

A 3/4 slab of cheese is shared equally by 5 people. How much does each person need?

HELP

Answer 1

3/20 cheese per person

Explanation:

3/4 divided by 5

so in division we can multiply the reciprocal

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

that becomes 3/20

so each person gets 3/20 from the slab of cheese
