Tom has 5/6 pound of rasins. He wants to make 10 snacks bags for his boy scout troop. How many pounds of raisins will each member get?
(5/6) / 10
(5/6) * (1/10) = 5/60 = 1/12 pound
Thank u Ms. SUE
You're welcome, Amy.
To find out how many pounds of raisins each member will get, we need to divide the total amount of raisins by the number of bags.
Tom has 5/6 pound of raisins, and he wants to make 10 snack bags.
To divide fractions, we can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
Recall that the reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by flipping the numerator and denominator. For example, the reciprocal of 3/5 is 5/3.
So, let's find the result of dividing 5/6 by 10:
(5/6) รท 10 = (5/6) * (1/10)
Now, we can multiply the numerators and denominators separately:
(5 * 1) / (6 * 10) = 5/60
Since 5/60 is equal to 1/12, each member of the boy scout troop will get 1/12 pound of raisins.
