Question

mr. Ramirez bought 1/4 lb of cashews he divided cashews equally among his three children how much did each child get

Answer 1

Hey!

So all you have to do for this question is divide the amount of cashews that he bought by how many children he has.

(1/4)/3

Division of two fraction is the same thing as multiplying as its reciprocal.

(1/4) / (3/1)

(1/4) * (1/3)

1/12

So your answer is 1/12 pounds of cashews
