Sara had 1/2 of a pound of raisins. She and her 2 sisters shared the raisins equally. How much did each person get ?

Answer 1

Since the raisins will be share equally between 3 people, you would divide the weight of the raisins by 3 (or multiply by 1/3):

1/2 divided by 3 = 1/2 *1/3 = 1/6 pound

Each person will receive 1/6 pound of raisins.
