Question
Write the following examples using fraction:
i. If 9 kg rice is shared among 5 people, how many kilograms of rice does each person get?
ii. To make 5 shirts of the same size, 11 meters of cloth is needed. How much cloth is needed for one shirt?
✓

Answer

i. Total quantity of rice = 9 kg
Number of people = 5
∴ Kilograms of rice received by each person $=\frac{9}{5}$
∴ Each person will get $\frac{9}{5}$ kg of rice.

ii. Total meters of cloth = 11 meters
Number of shirts to be made = 5
Meters of cloth needed to make 1 shirt $=\frac{11}{5}$
∴ Cloth needed to make 1 shirt is $\frac{11}{5}$ meters.
