Question

Thomas divides $\frac{1}{2}$ of a gallon of salsa equally in $2$ bowls. How many gallons of salsa will each bowl have?

• A. $\frac{1}{4}\text{gal}$
• B. $\frac{1}{6}\text{gal}$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}\text{gal}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{1}{4}\text{gal}$

Thomas divides $\frac{1}{2}$ of a gallon of salsa equally in 2 bowls. Hence, both bowls will have the same amount of salsa.

Amount of salsa in each bowl $=\frac{1}{2}÷2$



Therefore, each bowl will have $\frac{1}{4}$ gallon of salsa.
