Question
Every day, Adam's orange juice stand uses 3 bags of oranges. How many days will 1/3 of a bag of oranges last?Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.
Solution
Adam uses 3 bags of oranges every day. This means that in one day, he uses up 3 bags. If we have 1/3 of a bag, we need to find out how long this will last compared to the 3 bags he usually uses.
To do this, we divide the amount we have (1/3) by the amount used per day (3).
So, we calculate 1/3 ÷ 3 = 1/9.
Therefore, 1/3 of a bag of oranges will last Adam 1/9 of a day.
