If four friends collected 9 1/3 bags of treats and shared them among themselves equally,how many bags of treats did each person get?

Sagot :

It is given that four friends collected 9 1/3 bags of treats.

[tex]9\frac{1}{3}=\frac{28}{3}\text{ bags}[/tex]

Now 28/3 bags divided equally among 4 friends will be:

[tex]\frac{\frac{28}{3}}{4}=\frac{28}{12}=\frac{7}{3}=2\frac{1}{3}\text{ bags}[/tex]

Hence the total number of bags that each person will receive is 7/3 bags or 2 1/3 bags.
