Alex wants to distribute the juice among 6 of his friends.
We should divide 3/2 litres by 6. Let’s convert 3/2 into mixed fractions.
3/2 = 1 (1/2).
We have to divide 1(1/2) in 6 equal parts.
1 can be divided into 4 equal parts and 1/2 can be divided into 2 equal parts.
So. quarter of a litre will be the measure of each part.
(¼ ) + (¼) + (¼ ) + (¼) + (¼ ) + (¼) = 1(1/2)
Therefore, each of his friends get ¼ litres of juice.
