Hello I'm back..I am really fustrated on this one problem.

Mr. Scruggs got some money for his birthday. He spent 1/5
of it on dog treats. Then, he divided the remainder
equally among his 3 favorite charities. What fraction of his money did each charity receive?

(4/5)/3 =

(4/5) * (1/3) = 4/15 for each charity

Thank you so much! ( I went to dance that is why I responded late. )

1/3

Hi! I'm here to help you with your problem. Let's break it down step by step, starting with the information given.

We know that Mr. Scruggs spent 1/5 of his money on dog treats. That means he has 4/5 of his money left.

To find out what fraction of his money each charity received, we need to divide the remaining 4/5 equally among the 3 charities.

To do this, we divide 4/5 by 3.

To divide a fraction by another number, we multiply the numerator (top) by the reciprocal of the denominator (bottom). The reciprocal of a number is simply flipping it, so the reciprocal of 3 is 1/3.

So, we have (4/5) * (1/3).

Multiplying fractions is easy: we simply multiply the numerators together (4 * 1) and the denominators together (5 * 3).

Therefore, we get (4/5) * (1/3) = (4 * 1) / (5 * 3) = 4/15.

Hence, each charity received 4/15 of Mr. Scruggs' money.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions!
