carrie has 1/5 bags of cashew nuts that she wants to divide into 25 snack bags. what fraction o the nuts will be in each bag?
1/5divided 25
1/5x1/25=1/125 this correct or wrong
nope. There will be 1/125 of a bag in each snackbag, but that was not the question.
1/25 of the nuts will be in each snackbag, regardless of the original quantity.
Unless you garbled the question ...
Thanks
To find the fraction of the nuts that will be in each bag, you need to divide 1/5 by 25.
To do this, you can multiply the numerator of the first fraction (1) by the denominator of the second fraction (25), and multiply the denominator of the first fraction (5) by the numerator of the second fraction (1).
The calculation would be:
(1/5) / 25 = (1/5) * (1/25)
Now, multiply the numerators (1 * 1) and the denominators (5 * 25):
= 1/125
So, the correct answer is 1/125. Each bag will contain 1/125 of the nuts.
