Given:
Moovis the cow splits an 8 1/3 ounce snowball into 5 equal size.
Determine how much does each piece weigh.
Solution:
In order to determine how much does each piece weigh, we simply need to convert first the mixed number to improper fraction, then we divide by 5. To convert a mixed number to improper fraction, multiply the whole number to the denominator and then add the product to the numerator.
= 8 ⅓
= 25/3
= 25/3 / 5
= 25/15
Final answer:
= 25/15
