Jodie Has 2 12 Cases Of Soda To Split Between 5 Families What Fraction Of A Case Does Each Family Receive class=

Sagot :

We have in total 2 1/2 so we need to divide this in 5 equal parts

First we will convert our mixed number into a fraction

[tex]2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{4}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Then we divide between 5

[tex]\frac{5}{2}÷\frac{5}{1}=\frac{5\ast1}{2\ast5}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
