Question

Jason has five zucchinis he grew in his garden. He wants to share them equally among three of his neighbors. How many zucchinis will each neighbor get? Use the numbers to complete the number sentence. You may use a number more than once or not at all.

Answer 1

`1 (2)/(3)`

Explanation:

Given: Jason has 5 Zucchinis.

Jason want to share Zucchinis equally among three of his neighbour.

Now, find the share of each neighbour out of 5 zucchinis

As given zucchini is divided equally.

Share of each neibour=
`(Total\ zucchinis)/(number\ of\ neighbour)`

∴ Share of each neibour=
`(5)/(3)`

next converting the improper fraction into mixed fraction.

If we divide 5 by 3 we get quotient as 1 and remainder as 2

∴ share for each neighbour will be
`1(2)/(3)`

Hence, each neighbour of Jason will be
`1(2)/(3)`
