you make 3 2/5 cups of gravy. if you have 4 people over for thanksgiving, how much gravy can each person have?

Answer 1

You are dividing the gravy up. You may want to make the mixed fraction to improper... that is 3 and 2/5 is 17/5 then you want to know how much each person will get
17/5 divided by 4
Which can also be represented as a multiplication of 1/4
17/5 x 1/4
or 17/20 per person.

Answer 2

(17/5) /4 = (17/5) * 1/4 = 17/20

How much easier to use decimals.

3.4 / 4 = 0.85

Answer 3

thank you!
