Riley brings 6 1/2 bottles of iced tea to her class picnic. If Riley divides the iced tea evenly among her 5 classmates, how much iced tea will each of her classmates get? Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.
To find out how much iced tea each of Riley’s 5 classmates will get, you need to divide the total amount of iced tea by the number of classmates.
Riley has 6 1/2 bottles of iced tea, which can be converted to an improper fraction:
1. Convert 6 1/2 to an improper fraction:
– 6 1/2 = (6 * 2 + 1) / 2 = (12 + 1) / 2 = 13/2.
2. Now, divide this amount by 5 (the number of classmates):
– 13/2 ÷ 5 = 13/2 × 1/5 = 13/10.
3. This fraction can also be expressed as a mixed number:
– 13/10 = 1 3/10.
So, each classmate will receive 1 3/10 bottles of iced tea.
