Question

A principal buys 30 boxes of markers and evenly divides the boxes among 12 teachers. What

fraction of a box of markers does each teacher receive?

Answer 1

Answer:
`(5)/(2)`

Explanation:

Divide the boxes among the teachers will result in:

`(30)/(12) =(6(5))/(6(2)) =(5)/(2)`

So, each teacher will receive
`(5)/(2)` or 2.5 boxes of markers.
