Question

Aiden has 56 orange slices to share equally with 6 friends. If Aiden also gets an equal number of orange slices, how many orange slices will each person get?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 orange slices

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of persons = Aiden + 6 friends = 7 persons

7 people are to share 56 orange slices equally.

Hence,

7 persons = 56 slices

1 person = x

Cross Multiply

7x = 56 × 1

x = 56/7

x = 8 slices

Therefore, each person will get 8 orange slices
