Answer:9/4
Please check on the above answers.
Yes. 9/4 = 2 1/4
Yes. 9/4 = 2 1/4
Yes, you're right. But you should simplify the second answer.
I think they are all correct
So to simply the second answer it would be 2 1/4. Would that be correct?
To check the answers, we can divide the total amount of pizza or fishing wire by the number of people sharing it to find out how much each person would get. Let's start by checking the first question:
Ten cousins share 3 pizzas equally. To find out how much each cousin gets, we divide the total number of pizzas (3) by the number of cousins (10). So, 3 ÷ 10 = 0.3.
So, according to our calculation, each cousin would get 0.3 of a pizza, which can also be written as 3/10.
Let's move on to the second question:
Four boys share 9 yards of fishing wire equally. To find out how much each boy gets, we divide the total amount of fishing wire (9 yards) by the number of boys (4). So, 9 ÷ 4 = 2.25.
So, according to our calculation, each boy would get 2.25 yards of fishing wire, which can also be written as 9/4.
Therefore, the previous answers are correct. Each cousin would get 3/10 of a pizza, and each boy would get 9/4 yards of fishing wire.
