Alexa has 3/4 of a pound of bird seed left to share equally between 2 bird cages in her pet shop. How many pounds can she put in each bird cage?
Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.
To find out how much bird seed Alexa can put in each cage, we need to divide the total amount of bird seed by the number of cages.
Alexa has ( frac{3}{4} ) of a pound of bird seed, and she is sharing it between 2 bird cages.
So, we perform the division as follows:
[
text{Amount per cage} = frac{3/4}{2} = frac{3/4}{2/1} = frac{3}{4} times frac{1}{2} = frac{3 times 1}{4 times 2} = frac{3}{8}
]
Therefore, Alexa can put ( frac{3}{8} ) of a pound of bird seed in each bird cage.
Keep up the good work, and feel free to ask more questions for further help!
To find out how many pounds of bird seed Alexa can put in each bird cage, you need to divide the amount of bird seed she has by the number of cages.
Alexa has ( frac{3}{4} ) of a pound of bird seed and she needs to share it equally between 2 bird cages.
1. To divide ( frac{3}{4} ) by 2, you can rewrite the division as:
[
frac{3}{4} div 2 = frac{3}{4} times frac{1}{2}
]
2. Now, multiply the fractions:
[
frac{3 times 1}{4 times 2} = frac{3}{8}
]
So, Alexa can put ( frac{3}{8} ) of a pound of bird seed in each bird cage.
To find out how many pounds of bird seed Alexa can put in each bird cage, you need to divide the total amount of bird seed by the number of cages.
1. Total bird seed: ( frac{3}{4} ) pound.
2. Number of cages: 2.
Now, divide ( frac{3}{4} ) by 2. Dividing by 2 is the same as multiplying by ( frac{1}{2} ).
So, the calculation is:
[
frac{3}{4} times frac{1}{2} = frac{3 times 1}{4 times 2} = frac{3}{8}
]
Thus, Alexa can put ( frac{3}{8} ) pounds of bird seed in each bird cage.
To find out how much bird seed Alexa can put in each bird cage, we need to divide the total amount of bird seed by the number of cages.
She has ( frac{3}{4} ) of a pound of bird seed and wants to share it between 2 cages.
We can express this mathematically as:
[
text{Amount per cage} = frac{3/4}{2}
]
Dividing a fraction by a whole number can be done by multiplying the fraction by the reciprocal of the whole number:
[
frac{3/4}{2} = frac{3}{4} times frac{1}{2} = frac{3 times 1}{4 times 2} = frac{3}{8}
]
So, Alexa can put ( frac{3}{8} ) of a pound of bird seed in each bird cage.
