Question

Carmen has 1/6 of a loaf pumpkin bread. She cuts the loaf into six equal pieces and gives one piece to each of her six friends. How much of the whole loaf of bread does each of the six friends get?​

Answer 1

each friend gets 1/36 of the loaf of pumpkin bread

Explanation:

1/6 of a loaf

1/6 divided by 6

turn 6 into a fraction → 6/1

1/6 ÷6/1

to divide multiply the reciprocal 6/1 → 1/6

1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36

each friend get 1/36

OR

6/x = 1/6

x= 36

6/36
