Julia has saved 108 sand dollars and wants to give them away equally to x friends. Write an expression to show how many sand dol
lars each of Julia’s friends will receive. Then, find the total number of sand dollars each of Julia’s friends will get if Julia gives them to 12 friends.
s = 108/x . . . . s = sand dollars each friend gets
each of the 12 friends gets 9 sand dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
The point of a fraction is to express the size of something that has been divided into a number of parts equal to the denominator. For example, 1/3 represents the amount when 1 unit is divided into 3 parts.
Here, Julia has 108 that she wants to divide into x parts. The fraction 108/x will tell the size of each part.

When x=12, the fraction becomes 108/12 = 9/1 = 9. Each friend gets 9 sand dollars.
196 ÷ 4 is why because their are 4 sides on a square if you divide it by 4 you get the answer 49. You're probably in like 3rd grade or smth this is so easy.
