Question

Henry had 1/2 of a gram of nuts. If he puts 1/10 of a gram of nuts into each bowl, how many bowls can Henry fill?

Answer 1

5 bowls

Explanation:

⁵⁾1/2 grams = 5/10 grams

`(5)/(10):(1)/(10)=(5)/(10)*(1)/(10)=5~bowls`

Answer 2

5 bowls

Explanation:

Henry has
`(1)/(2)` gram of nuts.
`(1)/(2)` is equal to
`(5)/(10)`.

Since Henry has
`(5)/(10)` of a gram of nuts, and he puts
`(1)/(10)` of a gram in each bowl, he will be able to fill 5 bowls.
