Question

Abigail had 1/2 gallon of orange juice. she divides the juice equally into 6 glasses. what equation represents the fraction of a gallon of orange juice in each glass?

Answer 1

1/12 gallon per glass of OJ. (1/2 gallon)/ 6 glasses= 1/12 gallon per glass

Answer 2

It would be 1/2 divided by 6.
This is because it says that she has divided the juice "equally" into 6 glasses.Like for instance, if I divided a cookie in two it would be put into two.So then you would have to know that what is being divided is the 1/2 glass of juice.That is how I got that answer.

And, as a bonus, if you solve it, it would be

1/2 /  6/1=(1/2)(1/6)
=1/12
