Q. A biologist studied how cells grow by adding liquid protein to cell samples. She reported in her study that she divided 8138\frac{1}{3} ounces of liquid protein evenly among 33 cell samples. How much liquid protein did she give to each cell sample?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.\newline_____ ounces
  1. Convert to improper fraction: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction for easier calculation. 8138 \frac{1}{3} ounces can be expressed as (8×3+1)/3=253(8 \times 3 + 1)/3 = \frac{25}{3} ounces.
  2. Divide by number of samples: Divide the total liquid protein by the number of cell samples. So, (25/3)÷3=259(25/3) \div 3 = \frac{25}{9} ounces per cell sample.
