Answer:

0.125 pounds per egg

Explanation:

First we convert the fraction to a decimal:

3/4 → 0.75

From here we divide 0.75 by 6:

0.75/6 = 0.125

This value of 0.125 is the weight of one egg in pounds in decimal form

If you want the fraction form multiply the denominator by 6 and divide to verify:

6 * 4 = 24 → 3/24 = 0.125

The simplified fraction is 1/8
