Jordan wants to divide his \(48/5\) pounds of chocolate into 4 piles of equal weight. If he gives one of these piles to his friend Shaina, how many pounds of chocolate will Shaina get?
We need to divide 48/5 by 4.....so.....
48 / 5 ÷ 4 =
48/5 ÷ 4/1 [invert the second fraction and multiply ]
48/5 * 1 /4 =
48 / 20 =
12/5 lbs = amount that Shaina gets
