6 friends are sharing 4 bannas equally. Which fraction shows the part of a banna each friend will get?
Answer options are...
A 1/4
B 6/4
C 2/6
D not there
the fraction would be:
(the number of bananas) / (number of people)
To find the fraction that represents the part of a banana each friend will get, we need to divide the total number of bananas by the total number of friends. In this case, there are 6 friends and 4 bananas.
To get the fraction, you divide the number of bananas (4) by the number of friends (6): 4 รท 6.
To simplify the fraction, you can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2 in this case. Dividing 4 by 2 gives 2, and dividing 6 by 2 gives 3. So, the simplified fraction is 2/3.
Therefore, each friend will get 2/3 of a banana.
