April took 1/2 her birthday cake to school to share with 5 friends. What

Question

fraction of the whole cake did each friend get (assuming she divided the
cake evenly among her friends and did not take a piece for herself)?

Answer 1

( 1 / 2 ) / 5 = 1 / 2 • 5 = 1 / 10

OR

1 / 2 = 0.5

0.5 / 5 = 0.1 = 1 / 10
