Tia equally shares 8 cookies among herself and 4 friends. Which fraction shows how many cookies each person gets?

a)8/5
b)8/4
c)4/8
d)5/8

Respuesta :

The number of cookies goes over the number of people
a) 8/5

Each person gets [tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex] part of cookies .

Given that ;

Total no. of cookies = 8

Total no. of friends = 4

Total no. of person = Tia + her 4 friends

                                = 1 + 4 = 5

By definition of fraction

Equally sharing = [tex]\frac{Total no. of cookies}{Total no. of person}[/tex]

                         = [tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex]

Hence each person gets [tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex]  part of cookies .
