A farmer is splitting 23 pounds of oats into 9 separate bins for his horses how many pounds of oats will be in each bin?

Also it has to be a mixed fraction.

Respuesta :

so we have to divide 23 into 9:


[tex] \frac{23}{9} [/tex]

this is already the answer, there will be [tex] \frac{23}{9} [/tex] in each bin.


to express it in a mixed fraction we see how many times 9 "fits" into 23: it's 2 times (2*9=18) and 5 is left (23-18=5)

so the mixed fraction will be

[tex]2 \frac{5}{9} [/tex]
