5 4⁄7 slices per person


5 3⁄7 slices per person


5 1⁄7 slices per person

5 2⁄7 slices per person

Answer 1

Hey there! :)

All you have to do is divide 36 by 7

36 ÷ 7 = 5 ?/?
(?/? is a fraction)

7 × 5 = 35

36 - 35 = 1

Remainder = 1/7(7 because there's 7 people)

5 + 1/7 = 5 1/7

Your answer is 5 1/7 slices per person

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

35/7= 5
36-35=1
5 1/7 in total.
Hope this helps you :)
