Working together, 5 friends collected 15 5/8 bags of food for the homeless. on average, how many bags of food did each friend collect?

15 5/8 divided by 5

First, we turn the 15 5/8 to a mixed number: 8 * 15 + 5 = 125/8

125/8 divided by 5/1 (which is equal to 5)

Next, we do Keep Change Flip.

Keep 125/8 the same, change the division to multiplication, and turn the 5/1 to 1/5.

1 * 125 = 125

8 * 5 = 40

Then, we get 125/40 = 3 5/40 BUT WAIT

We can reduce it once more! Divide 40 by 5

Each friend collected 3 1/8 bags of food.

your answer is 40
