Question 1.
Joe has \(\frac{1}{2}\) of a watermelon. He wants to give it to 5 friends and give each friend an equal amount. How much of the watermelon will each friend get?
Answer:
Quantity of a watermelon each friend gets = 0.1.
Explanation:
Quantity of a watermelon Joe has = \(\frac{1}{2}\).
Number of friends she gave it equally = 5.
Quantity of a watermelon each friend gets = Quantity of a watermelon Joe has ÷ Number of friends she gave it equally
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) ÷ 5
= 0.5 ÷ 5
= 0.1 or \(\frac{1}{10}\)
Question 2.
Kay has \(\frac{1}{3}\) of a pizza. She wants to give it to 4 friends and give each friend an equal amount. How much of the pizza will each friend get?
Answer:
Quantity of a pizza each friend gets = 0.0825.
Explanation:
Quantity of a pizza Kay has = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Number of friends she wants to give it = 4.
Quantity of a pizza each friend gets = Quantity of a pizza Kay has ÷ Number of friends she wants to give it
= \(\frac{1}{3}\) ÷ 4
= 0.33 ÷ 4
= 0.0825.
