To find out what fraction each person receives when sharing five brownies equally among four people, you need to divide the total number of brownies by the total number of people.
Step 1: Divide the number of brownies by the number of people.
5 ÷ 4 = 1.25
Step 2: Simplify the fraction.
Since we cannot have a fraction of a brownie, we need to convert 1.25 to a fraction. We can do this by expressing it as a mixed number or an improper fraction.
As a mixed number:
1.25 can be written as 1 whole brownie and 1/4 of another brownie.
So, each person receives 1 whole brownie and 1/4 of another brownie.
As an improper fraction:
1.25 can be rewritten as 5/4.
So, each person receives 5/4 of a brownie.
Therefore, each person would receive either 1 whole brownie and 1/4 of another brownie, or 5/4 of a brownie when sharing five brownies equally among four people.
