Question

At the end of a party, 3/4 cup of dip is left. Jim divides 4/5 of the leftover dip equally between 2 friends. How much dip does each friend get?

Answer 1

First, we need to find the amount of dip that was divided amount the two friends.

We know that it is 4/5 of the left dip 
therefore:
amount divided among the two friends = (4/5) x (3/4) = 3/5 of the original amount of dip.

This amount is divided among two friends,
therefore:
amount that each friend gets = (3/5) / (2) = 3/10 = 0.3 of the amount of dip
