18/5 = x
3 3/5
To find out how many ounces each friend should get, we can divide the total number of ounces of chocolate (18) by the number of friends (5).
The equation would be:
18 ounces ÷ 5 friends = x ounces per friend
Simplifying this equation, we can divide 18 by 5:
x = 3.6
Therefore, each friend should get 3.6 ounces of chocolate.
