To find out how many gallons of blackberries each person got, we need to divide the total amount of blackberries by the number of people.
Since Clark and Chris picked one and one half gallon of blackberries in total, the total amount of blackberries is 1 + 1/2 = 3/2 gallons.
We need to divide this amount evenly between two people, which means each person gets 3/2 divided by 2.
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
So, (3/2) divided by 2 is (3/2) * (1/2) = 3/4.
Therefore, each person got 3/4 gallons of blackberries.
Clark and Chris picked one and one half gallon of blackberries and divided them evenly between themselves how many gallons of blackberries did each get? This is algebra 1 so show work and the answer
