QuestionA waitress pours $\frac{3}{4}$ gallon of juice into 5 pitchers. What fraction is in each pitcher? Show with a rectangle and equation.

Studdy Solution
Now, let's represent the problem using a rectangle. The rectangle represents1 gallon. Draw lines to represent $\frac{3}{4}$ gallon first. Then divide that into5 equal parts.
The equation to show the solution is$$\frac{3}{4} /5 = \frac{3}{20}$$The two ways in which you need to show the answer to the problem are1. By calculating the amount of juice in each pitcher, which is $\frac{3}{20}$ gallon.
2. By representing the problem using a rectangle and writing an equation to show the solution.
