MAURICE HAS 4/5 OF A BAG OF POPCORN LEFT TO SHARE WITH HIS 2 BROTHERS. IF EACH OF THE THREE BROTHERS WILL GET THE SAME AMOUNT, HOW MUCH OF THE BAG WILL EACH PWRSON GET
To find out how much each person will get, we need to divide the amount of popcorn left in the bag by the number of people sharing it. In this case, there are 3 people sharing it (Maurice and his 2 brothers).
To determine the amount of popcorn each person will get, we divide 4/5 by 3:
4/5 ÷ 3
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
4/5 × 1/3
Multiplying the numerators (4 × 1) and denominators (5 × 3), we get:
4/5 × 1/3 = 4/15
Therefore, each person will get 4/15 of the bag of popcorn.
