Hello! I see you have uploaded an image with two math problems. Let's start solving each one:

### Problem 1 (Snack Bars):
> "Six people go camping and bring 14 snack bars. If each camper gets the same amount of snack bars, how much does each get? Express your answer as an improper fraction and as a mixed number."

To solve:
1. Divide the total number of snack bars by the number of people:  
   \[
   \frac{14}{6} = \frac{7}{3} \quad \text{(improper fraction)}
   \]
2. Now, express \(\frac{7}{3}\) as a mixed number:
   \[
   \frac{7}{3} = 2 \frac{1}{3}
   \]
So, each camper gets **\(\frac{7}{3}\) snack bars** (improper fraction) or **2 \(\frac{1}{3}\)** snack bars (mixed number).

### Problem 2 (Hamburger Distribution):
> "On the same camping trip, six campers bring four pounds of hamburger. Dave believes each camper should get 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) pounds of hamburger each. His calculation is shown, but he made a mistake."

**Dave's Calculation:**
\[
6 + 4 = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2} = 1 \frac{1}{2}
\]

Dave's mistake is that he added 6 + 4, which is incorrect since the calculation should involve dividing the total amount of hamburger (4 pounds) by the number of campers (6 people), not adding.

**Correct Calculation:**
1. Divide 4 pounds by 6 campers:
   \[
   \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}
   \]
So, each camper should get **\(\frac{2}{3}\)** pounds of hamburger.

Here are 5 related questions to explore:
1. How do you convert improper fractions into mixed numbers?
2. What are some strategies for simplifying fractions?
3. How do you divide whole numbers to create fractions?
4. Can you explain how to find the least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers?
5. How do you handle word problems involving division of quantities?

**Tip:** Always double-check whether a problem is asking for addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. Misinterpreting the operation can lead to mistakes like the one in the hamburger problem.

Six people go camping and bring 14 snack bars. If each camper gets the same amount of snack bars, then how much does each get? Express your answer as an improper fraction and as a mixed number. On the same camping trip, the six campers bring four pounds of hamburger. Dave believes each camper should get 1½ pounds of hamburger each. His calculation is shown, but he made a mistake. Explain his mistake and determine the correct amount of hamburger each camper should get. Express your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Solve two fraction-related problems: dividing 14 snack bars equally among six campers and determining the correct amount of hamburger each camper gets. Learn how to simplify fractions and express improper fractions as mixed numbers. Suitable for students in Grades 4-6.
