Question

Four friends shared 1/2 of one carton of orange juice and 1/4 of another carton of apple juice. What fraction of each carton of juice did each friend get?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\dfrac{1}{16}$

$\dfrac{1}{32}$

$\dfrac{3}{32}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So in the first carton of orange juice 4 friends shared the juice.

This can be shown as:

$\dfrac{(\dfrac{1}{2})}{4}$

$\dfrac{(\dfrac{1}{2})}{4}=\dfrac{1}{16}$

The 4 friends got 1/16 of the carton each in the first carton of OJ.

Next for the second carton, it can be shown as:

$\dfrac{(\dfrac{1}{4})}{4}$

$\dfrac{(\dfrac{1}{2})}{4}=\dfrac{1}{32}$

The 4 friends got 1/32 of the carton each in the first carton of OJ.

Now to see how much they got in total each, we simply add 1/16 to 1/32

$Total OJ each = \dfrac{1}{16}+\dfrac{1}{32}$

$Total OJ each = \dfrac{3}{32}$

Each friend got a total of $\dfrac{3}{32}$ each from both cartons of OJ.
