Answer:

Sam : 3/8

Leslie : 3/8

Maggie : 2/8

Rose : 0/8 that is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Jo divides a candy bar into eight equal pieces for her children to share

Total number of pieces = 8

Out of 8 pieces she gave 3 pieces to Sam, So fraction is $\frac{3}{8}$

Where denominator represents the total number of pieces and numerator represents the pieces children get.

Out of 8 pieces she gave 3 pieces to Leslie, So fraction is $\frac{3}{8}$

Out of 8 pieces she gave 2 pieces to Maggie, So fraction is $\frac{2}{8}$

Rose, the two-month-old baby, doesn’t get any.

So fraction is $\frac{0}{8}=0$

3 0

Sam and Leslie get 3/8 each, so for 6/8 already, then Maggie gets 2/8, Rose gets 0/8.

Sam: 3/8

Leslie: 3/8

Maggie: 2/8

Rose: 0/8
