Question

Lorenzo ate 2/5 of his bag of almonds. His 4 friends ate equal shares of the remaining almonds. Which expression represents the almonds that each friend ate. options- 2/5 - 4, 4 divided by 3/5, 2/5 divided by 4, 3/5 divided by 4

Answer 1

Given that Lorenzo ate 2/5 of his bag of almonds, the remaining amount was:
1-2/5=3/5
Given that 4 of his friend shared the remaining fraction equally, then the amount that each one ate was:
3/5÷4
that is:
3/5 divided by 4
this can be simplified to
=3/5×1/4
=3/20

The answer is: 3/5 divided by 4
