Question

Answer 1

Given:

A moving company had 1/5 of a ton of weight to move across town.

They wanted to split it equally amongst 7 trips

so, we will divide 1/5 by 7 to get the answer

so,

$\frac{1}{5}\div7=\frac{1}{5}\times\frac{1}{7}=\frac{1}{35}$

so, the answer will be:

The weight of each trip = (1/35) ton
