Question

Howard bought 3/5 pound of granola. He divided the

granola evenly among 4 friends. How much granola did
each friend get?

Answer 1

Explanation:

So because Howard wants to divide the granola evenly among all of his friends, we have to divide the amount of pounds he has by the number of friends he has.

(3/5) / 4

Dividing by four is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of 4 which is 1/4.

So (3/5) * (1/4) is 3/20 which is .15 pounds
