Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Pete found 5/6 of a party sand which in the refrigerator. He took 1/2 of the 5/6 of the sand which to his neighbors.
This is calculated as:
1/2 × 5/6
= 5/12
Hence, he took 5/12 of the sand
How much of the original sand which did pete take to his neighbors.
Let the original sand be represented as 1
Hence:
5/6 = 5/12 sand
1 = x
Cross Multiply
5/6x = 1 × 5/12
x = 5/12 ÷ 5/6
x = 5/12 × 6/5
x = 1/2
Therefore, pete took 1/2 of the original sand to his neighbors.
