Question

Matthew cuts s slices of bread. He splits them evenly among 6 plates. Write an expression that shows how many slices are on each plate.

Answer 1

6/s

Answer 2

I think that would be

s slices / 6 plates = s/6 slices/plate

6/s gets ever smaller as the number of slices increases...

Answer 3

Thanks, Steve.

Answer 4

To find the number of slices on each plate, we need to divide the total number of slices by the number of plates. Let's break down the problem step by step:

1. Let's represent the total number of slices as "s".
2. Since Matthew splits the slices evenly among 6 plates, we divide the total number of slices by 6 to distribute them equally.
3. Therefore, the expression to show how many slices are on each plate is: s/6

Using the expression s/6 will give you the number of slices on each plate.
