To divide 5/8 pound of scrambled eggs among 5 plates, we need to find the quotient of dividing 5/8 by 5.

First, we need to convert the fraction 5/8 into a decimal. To do this, we divide 5 by 8:
5 ÷ 8 = 0.625

Now, we divide 0.625 by 5 to distribute it equally among the 5 plates:
0.625 ÷ 5 = 0.125

Therefore, each plate will receive 0.125 pounds of scrambled eggs.
put it in a fraction
To express the amount that each plate gets in a fraction, we can write it as 1/8 pounds of scrambled eggs.

So, each plate will get 1/8 pound of scrambled eggs.
I am taking a writing assessment that has 3 sections I have a total of 5/6 hours to finish all of the sections if I am allowed the same amount of time to finish each section how much time do I spend in each section?
To determine how much time you spend on each section, you need to divide the total time available (5/6 hours) by the number of sections (3).

First, we need to convert the fraction 5/6 into a decimal. To do this, divide 5 by 6:
5 ÷ 6 = 0.8333333...

Now, we divide 0.8333333... by 3 to distribute the time equally among the 3 sections:
0.8333333... ÷ 3 ≈ 0.2777777...

Therefore, each section should receive approximately 0.2777777... hours.

To express this as a fraction, we can simplify the decimal approximation. Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10000 to obtain a whole number numerator:

0.2777777... * 10000 = 2777.7777...

Now, we can write the time spent on each section as a fraction:
2777.7777... / 10000 = 2777/10000

So, each section should receive 2777/10000 hours of time.
i have 3 section i have 5/6 hours left to finish how much time do i spend in each section in a fraction
To determine how much time you spend on each section in fraction form, divide the total time available (5/6 hours) by the number of sections (3).

To divide a fraction by a whole number, multiply the numerator of the fraction by the reciprocal of the whole number.

Reciprocal of 3 is 1/3.

(5/6) * (1/3)

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and denominators:

(5 * 1) / (6 * 3) = 5/18

Therefore, you would spend 5/18 hours on each section.
Leah aka me has been working on making handmade birthday cards for 11/12 hour if each card takes 1/6 hour to make how many cards did, she aka me make?
To find out how many cards you made, you need to divide the total time you spent (11/12 hour) by the time it takes to make each card (1/6 hour).

Dividing fractions is done by multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

(11/12) ÷ (1/6) = (11/12) * (6/1)

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and denominators:

(11 * 6) / (12 * 1) = 66/12

To simplify the fraction, find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator.

The GCD of 66 and 12 is 6, as both numbers are divisible by 6.

Divide both the numerator and denominator by 6:

66/6 ÷ 12/6 = 11/2

Therefore, Leah made 11/2 (or 5.5) cards.
i have 11/12 hour each card take 1/6 so how much did i made
To find out how many cards you made, you need to divide the total time you spent (11/12 hour) by the time it takes to make each card (1/6 hour).

Dividing fractions is done by multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

(11/12) ÷ (1/6) = (11/12) * (6/1)

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and denominators:

(11 * 6) / (12 * 1) = 66/12

Simplifying the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 6:

66/6 ÷ 12/6 = 11/2

Therefore, you would have made 11/2 (or 5.5) cards. Since you can't have a fraction of a card, it means you made 5 and a half cards.
