Question

Nan has 3/8 pound of blueberries. if she put equal portions of blueberries into 6 bags, how many pounds of blueberries are in each bag?

Answer 1

In order to find how many pounds are in each bag, we just need to divide the total amount of blueberries by the number of bags.

So we have:

`((3)/(8))/(6)=(3)/(8)\cdot(1)/(6)=(3)/(48)=(1)/(16)`

So in each bag there are 1/16 pounds of blueberry.
