A. start fraction 2 over 3 end fraction
B. 3
C. two-ninths
D. one-sixth
Ben has a candy bar that is divided into 3 equal parts. He gives his friends 4 equal parts of the candy bar. Therefore, each friend gets 4/3 of the candy bar.
To get the fraction in terms of the whole candy bar, we can divide 4/3 by the number of friends (which is 4):
(4/3) ÷ 4 = 4/3 × 1/4 = 1/3
Therefore, each friend will get 1/3 of the candy bar.
Answer: Option D, one-sixth, is incorrect.
