cheryl,rita and four of their friends go to a movie and share equally 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.

Each gets 1/6 of the goodies.

1/6 * 48 = ? ounces

1/6 * 3 = ? piece of licorice

divide 6 into 48.. you get 8

3 x 48 inch = 144 inch

each will get 144/6 inches of licorice
=> 24 inch.

they will each get

I had the exact same math question in my ace section in the bits and pieces book and I am in 5 th grade but I had trouble with that too

Two friends Neetu and geetu

to divide 49/2
2 kg of Apples equally between themselves how many kg of Apples he teach get

To find the fraction of popcorn and licorice each person gets, we need to divide the total amount of popcorn and licorice by the number of people.

Let's start with the popcorn:

Cheryl, Rita, and their four friends make a group of six people. Since they share the popcorn equally, we need to divide the 48-ounce bag by 6 to find the amount each person gets.

48 ÷ 6 = 8

Each person gets 8 ounces of popcorn. So the fraction of popcorn each person gets is 8/48 or simplified to 1/6.

Now let's move on to the licorice:

Similarly, since there are six people sharing three 48-inch licorice laces, we need to divide the length of the laces by the number of people.

48 ÷ 6 = 8

Each person gets 8 inches of licorice. So the fraction of licorice each person gets is 8/48 or simplified to 1/6.

In conclusion, each person gets 1/6 of the popcorn and 1/6 of the licorice.
