how do you divide 16 apples equally between 17 children
Zero...
Cut each apple into fifths (creating 90 1/5 segments). Then, give each kid 9 segments.
Give 5 apples to 5 people and forget about the other 2
A counterexample for the division of whole numbers is if we have 6 apples and we try to divide them equally among 4 people. Each person would get 1 apple and there would be 2 apples remaining. In this case, it is not possible to divide the apples equally among 4 people without leaving any remainder.
It is 3/5 bags of apples each.

If not a trick question, then 3.
You make applesauce.
If you consider the bags sure the answer will be a fraction since the two bags are divided into three persons so each one will have 2/3 of the bags, however, if you consider the contents of the bags, so in this case, it depends on the number of apples in the bags if the total number of apples is a multiple of three so each one of the three friends will receive a certain number of apples and the answer is not a fraction but if the total number of apples in the two bags is not a multiple of three so the received number of apples for each one of the three friends is a fraction
they each get 2 and 1/4 apples
Each person receives 1.6 apples.
2 apples
Let the number of apples that Jaynee's family = x. Let the number of apples that Jaynee's friends ate = x + 4

Johnny has 12 apples. Johnny has 12 friends for some reason Johnnys friends give him 12 apples each How many apples would Johnnys friends have before giving them to Johnny? If they each have 12 apples, that would be 12 X 12. But Johnny already had 12 apples So your equation would be…… 12 + 12 X 12 Remember order of operations or you’ll get this wrong. (answer is 156) One problem though. The question did not specify whether Johnny got 12 apples from all of his friends, or each of his friends (eg. 1 x 12 vs 12 x 12) but I just went w/ the latter as it seemed more common idrk
You can look at the ratio that is given to you for example in geometry... It is used to compare two ratios or make equivalent fractions. Use the ratio and make that the denominator of the proportion and cross multiply.A proportion will help you solve problems like the one below. Jane has a box of apples and oranges in the ratio of 2:3. If she has six apples, how many oranges does she have?Before we begin to set up proportions for a word problem, we will concentrate on solving proportions. Remember, a proportion is a comparison between two ratios. The proportion shown below compares two ratios which are in the fraction form. 1 x - = - 2 6
