In Part A, you calculated how to share 14

Question

foot of gum among 5 people. Now, use this information to help you calculate how much gum each person would get if Dario shares 4, 14
foot pieces of gum with his friends.

Answer 1

In Part A, we determined that each person would get 2.8 feet of gum if they shared 14 feet among 5 people.

Now, if Dario shares 4 pieces of 14-foot gum with his friends, he would have a total of 4 x 14 = 56 feet of gum.

To calculate how much gum each person would get if Dario shares this total amount with 5 friends, we divide the total amount of gum by the number of people:

56 feet / 5 people = 11.2 feet per person

Therefore, if Dario shares 4 pieces of 14-foot gum with his friends, each person would get 11.2 feet of gum.

Answer 2

In Part A, you calculated how to share 1/4
foot of gum among 5 people. Now, use this information to help you calculate how much gum each person would get if Dario shares 4, 1/4
foot pieces of gum with his friends.

Answer 3

In Part A, we determined that each person would get 1/20 foot of gum if they shared 1/4 foot among 5 people.

Now, if Dario shares 4 pieces of 1/4 foot gum with his friends, he would have a total of 4 x 1/4 = 1 foot of gum.

To calculate how much gum each person would get if Dario shares this total amount with 5 friends, we divide the total amount of gum by the number of people:

1 foot / 5 people = 1/5 foot per person

Therefore, if Dario shares 4 pieces of 1/4 foot gum with his friends, each person would get 1/5 foot of gum.
