James shares 9/5 of his chocolate bar with his 2 friends. How much does each person get
9/5? so 1 and 4/5th of a chocolate bar?
There's only one bar right?
Is that a typo?
Solution

Use this rule: a÷b/c=a×c/b
9/5 x 1/3
2
Use this rule: a/b×c/d=ac/bd
9x1/5x3
3
Simplify 9×1 to 9
9/5x3

To find out how much chocolate each person gets, we need to divide the total amount of chocolate that James has (which is 9/5 of a chocolate bar) by the number of people he is sharing it with (which is 2 friends).
First, we need to convert the fraction 9/5 into a decimal. To do this, we divide the numerator (9) by the denominator (5):
9 ÷ 5 = 1.8
So, James has 1.8 chocolate bars in total.
Next, we divide this total amount by the number of friends:
1.8 ÷ 2 = 0.9
Each person will get 0.9 chocolate bars.
Note: If you prefer to express the amount in terms of fractions, you can use the decimal value (0.9) to rewrite it as 9/10 of a chocolate bar.
