Answer: Each person will get 1/6 pounds of peanuts.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we simply have to divide the amount of peanuts that Joe has (1/2 pounds) and divide it by the number of friends (3).

Mathematically speaking:

1/2 pounds of peanuts / 3 friends = 1/2 ÷ 3 = 1/6 pounds of peanuts per friend.

So, each person will get 1/6 pounds of peanuts.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
