Sarah had 5/8 of a pizza left. If she wants to share it equally with her friends, how much pizza will each friend get?

There are 3/4 of a bag of marbles. If each bag contains 1/8 of a bag of marbles, how many bags can be filled?

To find out how many bags can be filled, you need to divide the amount of marbles (3/4) by the amount of marbles in each bag (1/8). This would result in 6 bags being filled, as 3/4 divided by 1/8 equals 6.

A recipe calls for 1/3 cup of sugar. If you want to make half of the recipe, how much sugar do you need?

Emma finished 3/5 of her homework. If she has 15 pages left, how many pages were assigned in total?

Emma finished 2/5 of her homework if 3/5 remains, since a whole represents 5/5. To find out the total number of pages assigned, we calculate how many pages make up 2/5 of her homework: 15 pages represent 2/5, so each part represents 15/2 = 7.5 pages. As there is a whole of 5 parts in total, the total number of pages assigned is 5 * 7.5 = 37.5 pages which we can round up to 38 pages.

A tank can hold 4/9 of water. If it is filled with 20 liters of water, what is the total capacity of the tank?

A farmer wants to distribute 3/4 of his apples equally among 6 boxes. How many apples will each box contain?

Each box will contain 1/8 of the farmer's apples, since 3/4 divided by 6 is 1/8.

In a class, there are 30 students and they want to share 9/15 of a large pizza equally. How many students will get a piece of pizza?

20 students will get a piece of pizza. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of students (30) by the fraction of the pizza they want to share (9/15), which equals 18 portions. Since the pizza will be shared equally, 18 portions divided by 30 students equals 0.6 portions per student. Therefore, each student will get a piece of pizza, and 20 students will receive a portion.
