Question

5 points 13. Abigail brought 4 pans of macaroni and cheese to a family reunion. There were 24 people at the reunion. Everyone ate an equal amount of macaroni and cheese. How much of a pan did each person eat? 1/24 of a pan1/6 of a pan6 pans20 pans

Answer 1

In order to find the fraction of a pan that each person ate, we can divide the number of pans by the number of people:

`(4)/(24)=(4\colon4)/(24\colon4)=(1)/(6)`

So each person ate 1/6 of a pan, therefore the correct option is the second one.
