Question

to make a cheese dip, one of Prianka's friends uses 1/4 pound of cheddar cheese. If 6 friends share the cheese dip evenly, how much cheddar cheese does each person eat?

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find how much cheddar cheese each person eats we have to divide the amount of cheddar cheese in the dip by the amount of people:

$\frac{1}{4}\colon6$

We can use KCF method:

Keep the first fraction

Change the division sign by a multiplication sign

Flip the second fraction:

$\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{4\times6}=\frac{1}{24}$

Answer:

Each person eats 1/24 pound of cheddar cheese
