Answer 1

1/4 pounds

Explanation:

Answer 2

1/4 pound(s) of candy in each bag

Explanation:

3 1/2 (pounds of candy) ÷ 14 (goodie bags) = ?

To make this easier let's turn 3 1/2 into a improper fraction and flip 14/1 (14/1 to 1/14):

3 1/2 = 7/2 14/1 = 1/14

Now we multiply:

7/2 x 1/14 = 7/28 = 1/4

(When you divide fractions, you can flip the second fraction and multiply and get your answer. Remember to simplify once you get your answer!)

Hope I helped! Sorry if wrong!
