During a hike,3 friends equally shared 1/2 pound of trail mix .What amount of trail mix,in pounds,did each friend receive?

Respuesta :

[tex]\bf \cfrac{1}{2}\div 3\implies \cfrac{1}{2}\div \cfrac{3}{1}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{3}\implies \cfrac{1}{6}[/tex]

3 friends equally shared 1/2 pound of trail mix, during the hike.

Total quantity of trail mix = 1/2 pound

Quantity shared by each friend is 1/3 rd of the trial mix

= 1/3 * 1/2 pound

= 1/6 pound

Therefore, during the hike, each friend shared 1/6 pound of the trail mix.

Hope this helps ..!!
