1. Stan brought candy for his friends that weighed 7/8 pounds. If he split it up equally among himself and 4 other friends, how much candy did they each eat?
(7/8) /5
= (7/8)*(1/5)
= 7/40 pound
2. Yesterday, Jill drank 6 gallons of water this week. If her water bottle holds 2/3 gallons, how many times did she fill her water bottle?
6/(2/3)
= 6 * (3/2)
= 18/2
= 9 times
3. Carmen had 2/5 of a liter of soda. If she pours cups that are 1/10 of a liter, how many cups can she pour to share with her friends?
(2/5)/(1/10)
= (2/5)*(10)
= 20/5
= 4 cups
