in art class there are 5 sheets of drawing paper for 9 people. how much paper will each person get?

thank you. would you know how to draw that out in pictures. I have to use a picture. thank you

I got it backwards. Sorry.

5/9

The most practical way of doing this is to give each person 1/2 sheet of paper. You'll have 1/2 piece left over in case someone messes up.

Draw 5 sheets of paper and divide each into two equal pieces.

Thanks that is what i did but i wasn't sure if i had to include the extra 1/2 sheet in my answer.

thanks for giving me the answer to my homework

To find out how much paper each person will get, we need to divide the total number of sheets of paper (5) by the total number of people (9).

To calculate this:

1. Divide the total number of sheets of paper (5) by the total number of people (9):

5 / 9 = 0.5555 (rounded to four decimal places)

This means that each person will get approximately 0.5555 sheets of drawing paper. Since it is not possible to give half a sheet of paper to someone, the most fair distribution would be to give each person 0 sheets or 1 sheet, depending on the criteria for dividing the paper amongst the group.

9/5 = _____ sheets of paper
