Answer:
[tex]\frac{11}{12}\div 5=\frac{11}{60}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
If Tuscan ate an equal portion of a [tex]\frac{11}{12}[/tex] gallon white bean soup over the course of 5 days, then he should have eaten [tex]\frac{11}{12}\div 5[/tex] gallon of the soup each day.
Solve for [tex]\frac{11}{12}\div 5[/tex]:
[tex]\frac{11}{12} \div 5 \\\text{change the division sign to a multiplication sign and replace 5 with its reciprocal, which is 1/5}\\=\frac{11}{12} \times \frac{1}{5}\\\text{when multiplying fractions, simply multiply}\\ \text{the numerator to the numerator and the denominator to the denominator}\\=\frac{11 \times 1}{12 \times 5}=\frac{11}{60}[/tex]
