Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 3 bags to be shared among 7 people.
Therefore each person will get 3/7 bags.
I couldn't think of a way of explaining the question in terms of bags when I wrote my answer. Suppose you try this.
Weigh each bag separately.
Add the weights (or masses) together.
Divide by 7
Another way is to weigh each bag separately. There are three bags and seven people. Each person will get 3 parts of the total divided by 7.
This will solve the problem in a practical manner. Give the Brainliest to the other responder who did a much better job of explaining it than I have.
Answer:
[tex]\frac{7}{3}[/tex] or 2[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of a bag of trail mix
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the fraction of trail mix each friend will get, divide the number of friends by the number of bags of trail mix:
Since there are 7 friends and 3 bags of trail mix, the fraction will be [tex]\frac{7}{3}[/tex]
This can also be simplified to a mixed fraction, 2[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
So, each friend will receive [tex]\frac{7}{3}[/tex] or 2[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of a bag of trail mix.
