the pet store has 8 rabbits for sale. Each morning the owner feeds the rabbits a total of 2 cups of pellets. If each rabbit receives the same amount of pellets, how much does each rabbit receive?
Answer:
\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: There are total 8 rabbits in a sale. Each morning the owner feeds the rabbits a total of 2 cups of pellets. Each rabbit receives the same amount of pellets.
To find: how much does each rabbit receive?
Solution:
It is given that 2 cups of pellets is shared among the rabbits, and each rabbit will receive the same number of pellets.
So, we have 8 rabbits\(=\)2 cups
1 rabbit\(=\frac{2}{8}\) cups
\(=\frac{1}{4}\) cups
Hence, each rabbit will receive \(\frac{1}{4}\) cups of pellets.
