Question

emma has 4 1/2 pounds of birdseed. she wants to divide it evenly among 3 birds feeders. how much birdseed should she put in each?

Answer 1

4.5/3 = 1.5 pounds of bird seed per bird feeder.

Look at the units. When I divide the amount of bird feed by the number of bird feeders you get amount of bird feed per bird feeder.

Hope that helps!
