chris bought 4 4/5 pounds of raisins. he shared the raisins equally between himself and five friends. how many raisins did each person get? i already know the answer but i just need to show the work. please answer quickly!!

Respuesta :

first off let's convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction, and then do the division, since it was divided among all 6, he and 5 friends.

[tex]\bf \stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{4}{5}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 5+4}{5}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{24}{5}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{24}{5}\div 6\implies \cfrac{24}{5}\div \cfrac{6}{1}\implies \cfrac{24}{5}\cdot \cfrac{1}{6}\implies \cfrac{24}{6}\cdot \cfrac{1}{5}\implies \cfrac{4}{1}\cdot \cfrac{1}{5}\implies \cfrac{4}{5}[/tex]
