Question

Jack wants to share his candy with friends. Right now he has 4 1/3 pieces of chocolate. How many friends can he give 1/2 a candy bar to?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 Friends

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert 4 1/3 to a mixed fraction

4 1/3 --> 13/3

Then divide by 1/2 to find how many friends per 1/2 candy bar with 13/3 candy bars

(13/3)/(1/2)

=(13*2)/(3*1)

=26/3

8.66667

Since you can't have 0.66667 of a person you get 8 friends to give candy to
