Question

6 eggs weigh 3/4 of a pound. How much does each egg weigh?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

1/8 lb or 2 oz

Explanation:

You find the weight per egg by dividing the weight by the number of eggs:

(3/4 lb)/(6 eggs) = 3/24 lb/egg = 1/8 lb/egg

A pound is 16 ounces, so 1/8 lb is 2 oz.

Each egg weighs 1/8 lb or 2 oz.
