Hey, me again! So, I'll be giving you the totals for EACH group.
For the first group, multiply 1/8 by 3 to get the answer;
3/8 lbs
Do the same for this group (and all of the others) so that the answers are:
Group 2 - 3/4lbs
Group 3 - 2/2 = 1lb
Group 4 - 5/8lb
Group 5 - 7/8
Answer: The answer to the question "What portion of the whole snack does each friend get?" is: Tasha 1/2 of the snack, her friends 1/4 of the snack each one.
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete snack is 1. If you say that Tasha eats half of the snack that means that you must divide 1 in 2 parts. Then, that gives us 1/2 left.
Tasha gives 1/2 of the snack to her 2 friends and shares it equally. That means that again you must divide it in 2 parts. That gives us:
1/2 ÷ 2 = 4
When you divide a fraction (1/2) into an entire number (2) you must take into account that there is a 1 below the entire number (2). Having that in mind, the next step is to multiply in cross: the 1 above the 2 (1/2) will multiply the 1 below the 2 (2/1), And the 2 below the 1 (1/2) will multiply the 2 above the 1 (2/1). The result of the first multiplication will be the number above the fraction that means 1, and the result of the second multiplication will be the number below the fraction that means 4. The final result is 1/4 (look in the picture attached).
To conclude, each of her friends received 1/4 of the snack.
Attached you may find a picture of the parts of the snack that each friend received.
I don’t understand where is the equation
What are the statement options? If I had to guess it would be Jacqueline practiced 150 minutes all week and Cassie practiced 110 minutes so Jacqueline practiced more minutes in fewer sessions than Cassie.
