Jim has 1/2 pound of raisins. He put the raisins into 4 bags. He put the same amount into each bag. What amount of raisins did Jim put into each bag?

Sagot :

[tex] \frac{1}{2} /4= \frac{1}{2*4} = \frac{1}{8} [/tex]
rules in dividing fraction:
copy the numerator and multiply the numerator to the reciprocal of the denominator. therefore, (1/2)*(1/4)=(1/8). why 1/4? because the reciprocal of 4 is (1/4).
