A farmer is splitting 23 pounds of oats into 9 separate bins for his horses how many pounds of oats will be in each bin?


Also it has to be a mixed fraction.

Verified Answer :

so we have to divide 23 into 9:


\(\frac{23}{9}\)

this is already the answer, there will be \(\frac{23}{9}\) in each bin.


to express it in a mixed fraction we see how many times 9 "fits" into 23: it's 2 times (2*9=18) and 5 is left (23-18=5)

so the mixed fraction will be

\(2 \frac{5}{9}\)
