Question

Nicholas buys 3/8 pound of cheese. He puts the same amount of cheese on 3 sandwiches how much cheese does Nichols put on each sandwich?

Answer 1

To find this, divide 3/8 by 3/1. To divide fractions, multiply the first number by the reciprocal of the second. 3/8 times 1/3 equals 3/24. Divide the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 1/8 (final answer).
