The Owens family had 5 family members. If they only had one-sixth of a box of cereal and each person got the same amount, what fraction of the box would each person get? help

Divide the amount of cereal left by total people:

1/6 / 5 = 1/6 x1/5 = 1/30 of the box.

1/30

You take 1/6 divide 5 = 1/30

Step-by-step explanation:

1/6 divide 5 means 1/6 x 1/5 = 1/30

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
