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
