At lunch, 8 friends share 6 sandwiches equally. What fraction of a sandwich does each friend get.
To find the fraction of a sandwich that each friend gets, we need to divide the total number of sandwiches by the number of friends.
In this case, we have 6 sandwiches and 8 friends. So, the fraction of a sandwich each friend gets can be calculated as:
Fraction of a sandwich = (Number of sandwiches) / (Number of friends)
Fraction of a sandwich = 6 / 8
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD) which is 2.
Fraction of a sandwich = (6 ÷ 2) / (8 ÷ 2)
Fraction of a sandwich = 3 / 4
Therefore, each friend gets 3/4 of a sandwich.
