James 2

James collected 24 seashells on the seashore to be shared with his two friends. What fractional part of the seashells will each get if distributed evenly? ​

Correct answer:

f =  8

Step-by-step explanation:

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