alexis divided a 1 3/4 pound bag of apples among 3 friends. how many pounds of apples did each friend receive?

Respuesta :

1 pound ÷ 3 friends = 1/3 pound per friend

then 3/4 apples split between 3 friends = 1/4 pound per friend

turn those into decimals 1/4 = 0.25
1/3 = 0.33 now add, 0.25 plus 0.33 equals 0.58 pounds of apples are given to each friend.

in fraction form that would be 58/100 or 29/50 and that's as low as the fraction can go.

Since Alexis divided a 1 3/4 pound bag of apples among 3 friends, the pounds of apples that each friend receives is 7/12 pounds.

Number of pounds of bags of apple to share = 1 3/4

Number of friends to share the apple = 3 friends

Therefore, in order to get the number of pounds of apples that each person gets, we'll need to divide 1 3/4 by 3 and this will be:

= 1 3/4 ÷ 3

= 7/4 ÷ 3

= 7/4 × 1/3

= 7/12

Therefore, the pounds of apples that each friend receives is 7/12 pounds of apple.
