Question

4 apples are equally divided among some friends such that each friend gets $\frac{2}{3}$. How many friends are there?

• A. 7
• B. 5
• C. 8
• D. 6

Answer 1

The correct option is D 6

Number of friends = $\frac{\mathrm{Total}\mathrm{apples}}{\mathrm{fraction}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{share}\mathrm{each}\mathrm{one}\mathrm{got}}$
Number of friends =
$4÷\frac{2}{3}=4\times \frac{3}{2}=\frac{4\times 3}{2}$
$=\frac{2\times 2\times 3}{2}=\frac{2\times 3}{1}=6$
