Question

Malia has
1/8 liter of juice. She distributes it equally to 3 students in her tutoring group. What fraction of the juice does each student get?

Answer 1

Answer: 1/24 L

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{8} L \div 3= \frac{1}{8} \div \frac{3}{1}= \frac{1}{8} \times \frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{24} \quad \\\\\begin{aligned}\therefore \text { Each student will get } &\frac{1}{24} L \text { of juice. }\end{aligned}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

  $\frac{1}{8}\div \:3$

$\mathrm{Convert\:element\:to\:fraction}:\quad \:3=\frac{3}{1}$

$=\frac{1}{8}\div \frac{3}{1}$

$=\frac{1}{8}\times \frac{1}{3}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{b}\times \frac{c}{d}=\frac{a\:\times \:c}{b\:\times \:d}$

$=\frac{1\times \:1}{8\times \:3}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:1\times \:1=1$

$=\frac{1}{8\times \:3}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:8\times \:3=24$

$=\frac{1}{24}$

Thus, 1/24 on fraction of juice each student get.
