six people need to share a 48 ounce bag of popcorn and three 48 inch licorice laces. find the fraction of popcorn each gets and the fraction of licorice each gets.
Simple. 48/6=8, 8 ounces per serson. 1/6th popcorn
48/3=16 16/2=8 1/2 of each licorice.
If you have 3 licorice and had to share 3 with 4 people how much will every one get
To find the fraction of popcorn each person gets, divide the total amount of popcorn (48 ounces) by the number of people (6):
48 ounces ÷ 6 people = 8 ounces per person
Therefore, each person gets 8 ounces of popcorn.
To find the fraction of licorice each person gets, divide the total number of licorice laces (3) by the number of people (6):
3 laces ÷ 6 people = 0.5 laces per person
Therefore, each person gets 0.5 licorice laces.
To express these fractions as mathematical fractions, the fraction of popcorn each person gets is 8/48 and the fraction of licorice each person gets is 0.5/3.
