1/3 pan of brownies is left on the table sarah wants to share with 7 friends how much of the total pan will each girl get
(1/3) / 7
(1/3) * (1/7) = 1/21
1/21. I hope there were 21 brownies in the pan originally.
To find out how much of the total pan each girl will get, we need to divide the remaining 1/3 pan of brownies by the number of friends (7).
To perform this division, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the fraction 1/3 into a decimal. Divide the numerator (1) by the denominator (3):
1 ÷ 3 = 0.3333 (rounded to four decimal places)
Step 2: Divide the decimal value by the number of friends (7):
0.3333 ÷ 7 ≈ 0.0476 (rounded to four decimal places)
Therefore, each girl will get approximately 0.0476 (or 4.76%) of the total pan of brownies.
Note: Since dividing 1/3 evenly among 7 friends is not possible, we divide the pan as much as we can and express it as a decimal or percentage.
