Question

Mrs. Amy has 5 bunches of grapes, which she is serving as a snack to a group of children. Each serving is 1/4

of a bunch.

How many children can get a serving of grapes as a snack?

Answer 1

We will see that 20 children can get a serving.

How to divide fractions?

To see how many children can get a serving we need to take the quotient between the total amount of grapes and the amount of grapes needed for each serving.

We know that there are 5 bunches of grapes, and each serving needs 1/4 bunches, then we need to solve:

$\frac{5}{1/4}$

Notice that we can write 5 as a fraction:

5 =  5/1

then:

$\frac{5/1}{1/4}$

Now, the two numbers in the middle (both ones) remain on the denominator, while the other 2 conform the numerator, then we have:

$\frac{5/1}{1/4} = \frac{5*4}{1*1} = 20$

So 20 children can get a serving.
