During snack time at preschool, the teacher divided 3/5 of a gallon of milk evenly between 2 students. how much milk did each student get?
(3/5) / 2
(3/5) * (1/2) = 3/10
3/10 of a gallon
That's an awful lot of milk for preschoolers. It's about five times the amount an an older child would drink.
wth
3/10 of a gallon because the quotient for 3/5 divided by 2 is not possble because 5 is a prime number so you turn 2 into a recpriocal which is anumber flipped around and the recpriocal of 2 is 1/2 so 3/5 divided by 1/2 is 3/10 of a gallon. I hope I answered your question. That's alot of milk for kids!

To determine how much milk each student received, we need to divide 3/5 of a gallon of milk into 2 equal parts.
To do this, we can use the concept of fractions. Since we're dividing 3/5 of a gallon into 2 equal parts, we can divide the numerator (top number) of the fraction by 2.
First, let's calculate how much milk one student received:
(3/5) gallon ÷ 2 = (3/5) ÷ 2 = (3/5) × (1/2) = 3/10 gallon
Therefore, each student received 3/10 of a gallon of milk during snack time at preschool.
