12 friends share 8 sandwiches. How much does each child get. Answer is 2/3, but how is this shown in a number sentence?
8 / 12 = 4 * 2 / 4 * 3 = 2 / 3
To show that each child gets 2/3 of a sandwich, we can use the division operator (/) in a number sentence.
The number sentence would be:
8 sandwiches / 12 friends = 2/3
This means that if you divide 8 sandwiches among 12 friends, each friend would receive 2/3 of a sandwich.
