Question

7 People shared a bag of oranges evenly. If there are14/17 kg of oranges in a bag, then what quantity of
oranges in a bag does each person get?​

Answer 1

y=2/3 orange for each friend (decimal: 0.6667 rounded to 4d. p)

PREMISES

y=the fraction of 2 oranges that each of 3 friends shares equally

CALCULATIONS

To distribute 2 oranges equally between 3 friends requires that the oranges be sliced proportionately equal to the number of friends which is 3

So, then,

y=

Each friend receives 1/3 of each of 2 oranges making 2/3 orange for each friend.

PROOF

If y=2/3 orange, then the equations

3*2/3 orange=2 oranges

6/3 oranges=2 oranges and

2 oranges=2 oranges prove the solution y=2/3 orange to the fraction of 2 oranges shared by each of 3 friends
