18 pieces of candy give 1/6 to 5 friends how many did each get
(1/6) * 18 = 18/6 = 3 pieces to himself and each of his five friends
A chalk line is placed around the perimeter of the football field. What is the length in feet?
To find out how many pieces of candy each friend gets when you divide 1/6 of the total 18 pieces of candy, follow these steps:
1. Calculate 1/6 of the total number of candy pieces:
1/6 * 18 = 3
2. Divide the result from step 1 by the number of friends (in this case, 5):
3 / 5 = 0.6
Each friend would receive approximately 0.6 pieces of candy. Since you cannot distribute less than one whole piece of candy, each friend would receive 0 or 1 piece of candy.
