Question

Jaime has 8/10 of a candy bar left over. He wants to split it into 1/3 pieces.

Answer 1

Answer:

2 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify how many pieces he can split with 8/10 of a candy bar, divide 8/10 by 1/3.

Divide 8/10 by 1/3:

$\frac{8}{10} / \frac{1}{3}=$

Find the Ricipricol, then flip the sign:

$\frac{8}{10} (\frac{3}{1} )=$

Multiply:

$\frac{8}{10} (\frac{3}{1})=\frac{24}{10} =\frac{2.4}{1}$

2.4 represents how many pieces of chocolate he can make with 8/10 of a candy bar.

However, 2.4 pieces can't be made, therefore he can only make 2 full pieces.
