a bottle of juice was brought to school
intended to be shared equally amongst 5
people. they only had $\frac{5}{6}$ ounces of juice
to start. how many ounces of juice does
each person get?
$5\div\frac{5}{6}=o$ $5\div\frac{5}{6}=5\times\frac{6}{5}=\frac{30}{5}=6$

classroom uses $\frac{4}{5}$ of a box of kleene

Explanation:

Step1: Define division for sharing

We need to divide the total juice by the number of people, so calculate $\frac{5}{6} \div 5$.

Step2: Rewrite division as multiplication

Dividing by a number is multiplying by its reciprocal: $\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{5}$

Step3: Simplify the expression

Cancel common factors: $\frac{\cancel{5}}{6} \times \frac{1}{\cancel{5}} = \frac{1}{6}$

Answer:

Each person gets $\frac{1}{6}$ ounces of juice.
