Key Concepts

Fractional Representation

Fractional representation deals with expressing parts of a whole. When a total cost is divided among a group, each person’s contribution is a fraction of the total, illustrating the relationship between the part and the whole.

Division

Division is an arithmetic operation used to distribute a whole among a number of equal parts. It is fundamental in determining how much each individual contributes when a total amount is shared equally among a group.

Cost-Sharing

Cost-sharing involves allocating a total expense equally among several individuals. This concept is applied in many real-life scenarios, such as splitting a meal bill, where the total cost is divided by the number of people sharing the expense.

00:01 All right, so problem 191 is telling us that jeanette and her friends are sharing a mud pie, which totaled to $6 after taxes and tip and everything.

00:15 Right, so all they have to pay is $6, and we're asked to calculate how much each person would pay, depending on the number of people that are present.

00:28 So letter a here is asking.

00:31 Asking us what if there's only two people what if jeanette is only with one friend how much are they gonna pay each right so we got six dollars and we need to divide it by two people so i think that's pretty straightforward six divided by two would be three so each person would be paying three dollars right so letter b what if there's three people what if there's jeanette and two more friends so then we're dividing six by three which would be two dollars each right six divided by three is two so for now we're skipping c and d because that's going to need a little bit more work for letter e what if there's six of them what if jeanette is with five more friends then six dollars divided by six would be one dollar each right they're paying one dollar each so moving on with letter c here let's go back to letter what if there's four print? four total? what if gnet is with three friends? so now we have to divide six by four.

01:45 Right.

01:45 So i want to set up a little bit of a long division here.

01:49 And let's see.

01:51 Six divided by four.

01:53 So how many fours fit in six? only one.

01:56 One times four would be four...
