Answer 1

Answer:

$8\frac{2}{6}\\\\2\frac{1}{5}$

Fractions are sometimes the same as dividing, for this case, that rule applies.

$\frac{50}{6}\\\\\frac{11}{5}$

↑ These improper fractions translate to...

$\frac{50}{6} = 8\frac{1}{3} -- > 8\frac{2}{6} \\\\ \frac{11}{5} = 2\frac{1}{5}$

Answer 2

Answer:

1)  D. 8 2/6 hotdogs

2)  B. 2 1/5 cakes

Step-by-step explanation:

1) If she's dividing 50 hotdogs equally among 6 people, then you would divide 50 by 6 to find how many each person gets.
note: 50 ÷ 6 is the same as $\frac{50}{6}$.

$\frac{50}{6}$ =  $8\frac{2}{6}$

6 can go into fifty 8 times, so there is a whole number of 8. There is 2/6 left over, so the final result is $8\frac{2}{6}$.

2) If Sako makes 11 cakes and wants to share it equally among 5 people, we can divide 11 by 5 to find how many each person gets.

$\frac{11}{5} =2\frac{1}{5}$

5 can go into eleven 2 times, so there is a whole number of 2. There is 1/5 leftover, so the final result is $2\frac{1}{5}$.

Hence, the answers are D, and B.

hope this helps!
