Cornell makes 11/12
of a gallon of Tuscan white bean soup. He eats equal portions of the soup for 5 days, with no soup remaining after the fifth day. How many gallons of soup did Cornell eat each day? If necessary, enter your answer as a fraction.
11/12 * 1/5 = 11/60
To find out how many gallons of soup Cornell ate each day, we need to divide the total amount of soup by the number of days he ate it.
First, let's calculate the total amount of soup. We know that Cornell made 11/12 of a gallon of soup:
11/12 gallons
Now, we need to divide this total amount of soup by the number of days he ate it. The problem states that Cornell ate equal portions of soup for 5 days. So, we divide the total amount of soup by 5:
(11/12) gallons ÷ 5 = (11/12) × (1/5) = (11/60) gallons
Therefore, Cornell ate (11/60) gallons of soup each day.
