Question

Aunt Becky gave 5/6 of a cup of pudding to each of her 3 nephews. How many cups of pudding did she give out?

Answer 1

Answer:

2$\frac{1}{2}$ Cups

Step-by-step explanation:

First make 3 a fraction by throwing a one under it. Next multiple the two tops of the fractions together and then the two bottoms together:

$\frac{5}{6} X\frac{3}{1} = \frac{15}{6}$

Next we convert to a mixed number:

$2\frac{3}{6}$

Finally, we simplify the fraction:

2$\frac{1}{2}$
