Sarah and get four friends go fishing. They catch 16 fish on Saturday and 14 fish on Sunday. They share the fish equally. How many fish does each person get

6 fishes

Step-by-step explanation:

The question here is to find the number of fishes each person gets.

To solve this, we need to know the total amount of fishes caught and the number of persons that would be involved in the sharing.

From the question, we can see that they caught 16 fishes on Saturday and 14 fishes on Sunday. The total number of fishes caught is thus 16 + 14 = 30 fishes

This means they caught a total of 30 fishes on both days. Now they share equally the number of fishes. The number of persons is a total of 5. Hence we are looking at sharing 30 fishes equally among 5 persons.

Thus, each person will get 30/5 fishes which equals 6 fishes per person

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial factors do not affect the prime factorisation.

Continuing the factorisation will lead to the same result whichever initial factors you choose.

    48  

 4   *   12

2*2  *  2*2*3

= 2*2*2*2*3

      48

  6  *    8

2*3  *  2*2*2

= 2*2*2*2*3.
