Question

There are 3 girls and 4 boys in the Reese's family. Mr Reese's booth 6 1/2 pounds of candy. How much will each kid get

Answer 1

Answer:

Each Child get = 0.928 pounds of candy

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no of girls are 3

total no of boys are 4

Total no boys and girls are = 3 + 4

                                             = 7

Now it is given that Mr Reese booth have some pound of candies and he wants to distribute it equally among each children

total candy Mr Reese have is $6\frac{1}{2}$

Now converting it to proper fraction

$6\frac{1}{2}$ =$\frac{6*2+1}{2}$

                                 =  $\frac{13}{2}$

Now the amount of candy have =$\frac{13}{2}$

Now we have to divide it into 7 kids

so

each kid get = total candy / total children

                     =$\frac{13}{2}$÷7

Changing the divide sign to multiplication  

                      $=\frac{13}{2}*\frac{1}{7}$

Which becomes

                      $=\frac{13}{14}$

solving it gives

Each Child get = 0.928 pounds of candy
