A group of 9 people won 1/5 of a $4,500 prize. How much money did each person in the group win?(1 point)

Question

$

Answer 1

To find the amount of money each person in the group won, we need to multiply the total prize money by the fraction that represents the portion of the prize that the group won.

The total prize money is $4,500.

The portion of the prize that the group won is 1/5.

To find out how much money each person won, we multiply the total prize money by the fraction 1/5:

$4,500 * 1/5 = $<<4500*1/5=900>>900.

Each person in the group won $900. Answer: \boxed{900}.

Answer 2

That’s wrong

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct the solution.

To find the amount of money each person in the group won, we need to divide the total prize money by the number of people in the group.

The total prize money is $4,500.

The number of people in the group is 9.

To find out how much money each person won, we divide the total prize money by the number of people:

$4,500 / 9 = $<<4500/9=500>>500.

Each person in the group won $500. Answer: \boxed{500}.

Answer 4

Still wrong

Answer 5

Apologies for the error. Let's try to solve it correctly.

A group of 9 people won 1/5 of a $4,500 prize.

First, we need to find the portion of the prize that the group won by multiplying the total prize money by the fraction 1/5:

1/5 * $4,500 = $900.

Now, we divide the portion of the prize by the number of people in the group to find out how much money each person won:

$900 / 9 = $100.

Each person in the group won $100. Answer: \boxed{100}.
