<h3>Answer: 5/48</h3>
============================================
Work Shown:
We'll divide the total 5/8 evenly among the 6 cousins.
(5/8) ÷ 6 = (5/8) ÷ (6/1)
(5/8) ÷ 6 = (5/8) * (1/6)
(5/8) ÷ 6 = (5*1)/(8*6)
(5/8) ÷ 6 = 5/48
Each cousin gets 5/48 of the aunt's assets.
So for instance, if the aunt had $48,000 in assets, then each cousin gets (5/48)*(48,000) = 5000 dollars.
------------------
An alternative approach:
Draw 6 rectangles side by side that represent the 6 cousins. Then divide each rectangle into 8 pieces, with 5 pieces shaded. The yellow pieces represent the amount given to the cousins. For any given rectangle, 5/8 of it is shaded yellow. Refer to the diagram below.
Overall we have 6*8 = 48 pieces.
The first cousin gets 5 yellow pieces out of 48 total. The same applies to the other five cousins. So this is a visual way to arrive at the answer 5/48.
Answer:
Reading bar graphs (multi-step) In a bar graph each bar represents a number. The following bar graph shows the number of seconds that different rides last at the fair. We can tell how long each ride lasts by matching the bar for that ride to the number it lines up with on the left.
Here is an example:
