Three teachers share 2 packs of paper equally. How much paper does each teacher get? Select all that apply. A 2 halves of a pack B 3 fourths of a pack C 3 sixths of a pack D 1 third of a pack E 2 thirds of a pack

Answer: D and E

Explanation: To determine how much paper each teacher gets, we divide the total number of packs by the number of teachers. Here, 2 packs are shared among 3 teachers. The division of fractions is involved, and we use the concept of dividing a whole number by another whole number to find the fraction each teacher receives.

Steps:

1. Total Packs: 2 packs
2. Number of Teachers: 3
3. Division Calculation: \(\frac{2}{3}\) packs per teacher

• This means each teacher gets \(\frac{2}{3}\) of a pack.

1. Matching Options:

• D: 1 third of a pack = \(\frac{1}{3}\) (not correct)
• E: 2 thirds of a pack = \(\frac{2}{3}\) (correct)

Thus, the correct answers are D and E, as each teacher receives \(\frac{2}{3}\) of a pack.
