Answer 2

`Each\ Weight = (1)/(4)`lb

Explanation:

Given

`Weights = (3)/(4)lb`

`Bananas = 3`

Required

Determine the weight of each

To do this, we simply divide the total weight by the number of bananas.

`Each\ Weight = (3)/(4)/3`

Convert to multiplication

`Each\ Weight = (3)/(4) * (1)/(3)`

`Each\ Weight = (1)/(4)`

Hence, each banana weighs 1/4 of a pound
