Question

Please Help You have 3 3/4 cups of nuts to divide evenly among 5 people How many cups of nuts will each person get?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C. $\frac{3}{4}\ cups\ of\ nuts$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out how many cups of nuts each person will receive, divide the total cups of nuts by the number of people.

so

$3\frac{3}{4} :5$

but first convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$3\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3*4+3}{4}=\frac{15}{4}$

substitute

$\frac{15}{4} :5=\frac{15}{20}\ cups\ of\ nuts$

simplify

$\frac{3}{4}\ cups\ of\ nuts$
