James 2

James collected 24 sea shells on the seashore to be shared with his 2 friends. What fractional part of the seashells will each one get if it is distributed evenly? ​

Correct result:

f =  8

Solution:

$$\begin{gathered} k={\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+2}}={\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}}\doteq 0.3333 \\ f=k\cdot 24=0.3333\cdot 24=8 \end{gathered}$$
