Ms. Fox loves to eat cereal and she notices that she only has 1/3 of the box of cereal left. If she spread that amount across 5 days, how much cereal will she have for each day?

1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Ms. Fox loves to eat cereal and she notices that she only has 1/3 of the box of cereal left. If she spread that amount across 5 days, how much cereal will she have for each day?

The amount of cereal she would have per day is calculated as:

5 days = 1/3 of the box

1 day = x

Cross Multiply

5 days × x = 1 day × 1/3 of the box

x = 1/3 ÷ 5

x = 1/3 × 1/5

x = 1/15 of the box
