(1/3) / 2 = (1/3) * (1/2) = 1/6
One such of dog food. Should've remember this.
what is the awer
To find out what fraction of the whole bag Jessica gives each of her dogs, we can divide the amount of dog food she has by the number of dogs she has.
Jessica has 1/3 of a bag of dog food, and she wants to give it to her 2 dogs. We need to divide 1/3 by 2:
1/3 ÷ 2
To divide fractions, we can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
1/3 ÷ 2 = 1/3 × 1/2
Now, we can multiply the numerators together (1 × 1) and the denominators together (3 × 2):
1/3 × 1/2 = 1/6
Therefore, Jessica gives each of her dogs 1/6 of the whole bag of dog food.
