Question

 a teacher has 16 kids in class and 6 pieces of construction paper. how much paper will each student receive? in fraction form

Answer 1

6 pieces of paper divided 16 ways.

 

6/16  is a literal translation, but it isn't in its final form because both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 2.

 

6/16 = 3/8
