Question

working together, 9 friends picked 23 2/5 bags of apple at an orchard. they divide the bags of apple equally between them. how many bags does each friend get?

Answer 1

9 friends
23 2/5 bags of apples

23 2/5 = 23.4
23.4 / 9 = 2.6

each friend may take 2 3/5 bags

Answer 2

Answer:

$2\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Number of friends=9

Number of bags of apple=$23\frac{2}{5}=\frac{117}{5}$

We have to find the number of bags each friend get.

In order to find the number of bags obtained by  each friend then, we will divide the total number of bags by number of friends.

Number of bags received b each friend=$\frac{\frac{117}{5}}{9}=\frac{117}{45}=2\frac{3}{5}$

Hence, each friend get bags of apple=$2\frac{3}{5}$
