Question

Three chocolate bars are equally divided among seven friends. Which of the following fractions represents the share of each friend?

• A. $\frac{7}{3}$
• B. $\frac{3}{7}$
• C. $\frac{3}{21}$
• D. $\frac{3}{10}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{3}{7}$

Total number of chocolate bars $=3$
Number of friends $=7$

Share of each friend = total number of chocolate bars ÷ number of friends
$=3÷7$
Share of each friend $=\frac{\text{Total number of chocolate bars}}{\text{number of friends}}=\frac{3}{7}$
