Question
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 person get?(1 point)
To find out how much of the bag each person will get, we need to find the total amount of popcorn in the bag first.
Since Maurice has 4/5 of the bag left, we know that he has 4/5 * bag = <<4/5=0.8>>0.8 * bag amount of popcorn.
Since Maurice is sharing with his 2 brothers, there are a total of 3 people (Maurice + 2 brothers).
To find out how much each person will get, we need to divide the total amount of popcorn by the number of people:
Total popcorn amount / Number of people = 0.8 * bag / 3 = (0.8 / 3) * bag amount.
Therefore, each person will get 0.8/3 of the bag of popcorn.
