You have 1/5 of a box of erasers
Number of box of erasers = 1/5.
you need to share them with 3 total people, including yourself
Total number of people = 3 + 1( yourself)
Total number of people = 4
Since, we have to distribute the box of erasers to 4 people
So, divide 1/5 by 4:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{5}\text{ }\div4=\frac{\frac{1}{5}}{4} \\ \frac{1}{5}\text{ }\div4=\frac{1}{5}\times\frac{1}{4} \\ \frac{1}{5}\text{ }\div4=\frac{1}{5\times4} \\ \frac{1}{5}\text{ }\div4=\frac{1}{20} \end{gathered}[/tex]The fraction of the box that each person will get is 1/20
Answer: 1/20
