Alexis divided a 5/12 pound bag of apples among her five friends. How many pounds of apples did each friend receive?

1 /12 pounds each

Step-by-step explanation:

Alexis has a 5/12 pound bag of apples and 5 friends to divide them amongst.

The number of pounds each friend receives is the number of pounds Alexis has divided by the number of friends she has:

= 5/12 ÷ 5

= 5/12 * 1/5

= 5 / 60

Take the fraction to the lowest form by dividing by 5:

= 1 / 12

Hint: When dividing a fraction by a number, you can instead multiply that fraction by the inverse of that number.

use formula for the circle a=3.14

step-by-step explanation:

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
