Answer: 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given Data:
Number of people = 6
Amount of Gold to be shared = 40lbs
Subtract 2/3 from your answer.
Therefore
If six people are to share 40lbs of gold evenly
= 40lbs / 6
Divide through by 2
= 20lbs / 3
= 20lbs / 3 - 2/3
= 18/3
= 6
Each person would get approximately 6lbs of gold
An example for the distributive property would be 3(1x6)
16 x 3/8 so 16/1 x 3/8 = 48/8. 48 divided by 8 is 6. So 6 inches.
