Question

If four friends collected 9 1/3 bags of treats and shared them among themselves equally,how many bags of treats did each person get?

Answer 1

It is given that four friends collected 9 1/3 bags of treats.

`9(1)/(3)=(28)/(3)\text{ bags}`

Now 28/3 bags divided equally among 4 friends will be:

`((28)/(3))/(4)=(28)/(12)=(7)/(3)=2(1)/(3)\text{ bags}`

Hence the total number of bags that each person will receive is 7/3 bags or 2 1/3 bags.
