To find the fraction of oranges shared, you can set up a fraction where the numerator is the number of oranges shared (32) and the denominator is the total number of oranges (80). Thus, the fraction is:
\[ \frac{32}{80} \]
Next, simplify this fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 32 and 80. Both numbers are divisible by 16.
Dividing the numerator and the denominator by 16:
\[ \frac{32 \div 16}{80 \div 16} = \frac{2}{5} \]
Therefore, the fraction of oranges shared is:
\[ \frac{2}{5} \]
Find the fraction shared when 32 out of 80 oranges are shared
