three neighbors are sharing a rectangular strip of land for a garden.they divide the land into 24 equal-sized pieces.what fraction of the land does each person get if they share it equally got to have three answers i got 8/24 1/3 and 2/6 is this correct thank you

I would say 1/3 only, the other fractions reduce to 1/3

64 over 96

Yes, you are correct! Each neighbor gets 8 out of the total 24 equal-sized pieces of land. Let's break down the calculation to see how we arrived at that answer.

To find the fraction of land that each person gets, we need to divide the number of pieces of land each person receives by the total number of pieces of land.

Each of the three neighbors shares the total of 24 equal-sized pieces of land, so we divide 24 by 3 to find out how many pieces each person receives:
24 ÷ 3 = 8

Therefore, each person receives 8 pieces of land out of the total 24 pieces. To express this as a fraction, we simplify it by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common divisor (GCD), which in this case is 8:
8 ÷ 8 = 1
24 ÷ 8 = 3

So, the fraction of land that each person receives is 1/3, which can also be written as 2/6 because both fractions are equivalent.

In summary, each person gets 8/24, 1/3, or 2/6 of the land when they share it equally.
