chiang picked 12 apples.she gave 1/6 of the apples to each of her 5 frinds.how many apples did each friend get? p.s.i am in 3rd grade
Divide:
12/6 = 2
Each of her friends got 2 apples.
To find out how many apples each friend received, we need to divide the total number of apples Chiang picked by the number of friends she gave them to.
Chiang picked 12 apples.
She gave 1/6 of the apples to each of her 5 friends.
To calculate how many apples each friend received, we need to divide the total number of apples by the number of friends:
12 apples ÷ 5 friends = 2.4 apples.
Since each friend cannot receive part of an apple, we round down to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, each friend received 2 apples.
To find out how many apples each friend got, we can divide the total number of apples by the number of friends. Chiang picked 12 apples, and she has 5 friends. So, to divide the apples equally, we can use division.
12 apples ÷ 5 friends = 2.4 apples
However, in this context, it's not possible for each friend to receive 2.4 apples because we can't split an apple into parts. Since we cannot have partial apples, we need to round the number to a whole number.
Since 2.4 is closer to 2 than it is to 3, we can say each friend got 2 apples.
