Abigail sells rice to store. she has a total of 125 cavans that she plans to distribute to three stores. if she gives 1/5 of what she has to store A can she devide the remaining equally to store B and C? how many store A and store B get?

1/5 of 125 = 125 divided by 5

What's the answer to that?

Once you know what 125/5 is, the rest should be easy.

To determine how many cavan(s) of rice each store will receive, let's break down the information provided step-by-step.

1. Abigail has a total of 125 cavans of rice.

2. She plans to distribute 1/5 of the total rice to store A. To calculate this, we can multiply 125 by 1/5:
125 * 1/5 = 25

Therefore, store A will receive 25 cavans of rice.

3. To calculate how many cavans of rice will be distributed equally to stores B and C, we need to subtract the rice given to store A from the total amount:
125 - 25 = 100

Now, we have 100 cavans of rice remaining to distribute equally between stores B and C.

4. Since we are dividing the remaining rice equally between two stores, we can divide the remaining quantity by 2:
100 / 2 = 50

Both store B and store C will receive 50 cavans of rice.

In summary, the distribution of rice will be as follows:
- Store A: 25 cavans
- Store B: 50 cavans
- Store C: 50 cavans

To solve this problem, we need to follow these steps:

1. Determine the fraction of rice that Abigail plans to give to store A.
Abigail plans to give 1/5 of the total rice to store A.

2. Calculate the quantity of rice that Abigail plans to give to store A.
To find the quantity, multiply the fraction (1/5) by the total number of cavans of rice (125).
Quantity for store A = (1/5) * 125 = 25 cavans

3. Calculate the remaining rice after giving store A's share.
Subtract the quantity given to store A from the total amount of rice.
Remaining rice = Total rice - Quantity for store A
= 125 - 25
= 100 cavans

4. Determine the quantity of rice that Abigail will distribute equally between stores B and C.
To divide the remaining rice equally between two stores, divide the remaining rice by the number of stores (2 in this case).
Quantity for stores B and C = Remaining rice / Number of stores
= 100 / 2
= 50 cavans

Therefore, store A will receive 25 cavans, while stores B and C will each receive 50 cavans.

If she gives 1/5 (25) to store A, that leaves 100 to distribute to stores B and C (50 each).

Store A: 25
Store B: 50
Store C: 50
Total: 125
