Question

CAMERON AND HIS FAMILY WERE EATING LEFTOVER LASAGNA. There was 1/2 of the lasagna left. Cameron has one brother, one sister, and two parents. If everyone gets the same size pieces, what fraction of the original lasagna does each member of cameron's family receive?

Answers

Ms. Sue
(1/2) / 4

(1/2) * (1/4) = 1/8

but shouldn't we include cameron? wouldn't this make 5 people?
Ms. Sue
Oops! You're right. I forgot poor Cameron.

(1/2) / 5

Keith
I was thinking it was 1/10 but the only concern I have was when the questions says of the original lasagna.
Ms. Sue
1/10 is correct.

Keith
Thanks so much!
