Question

Sonya has 2/3 pound of pistachios that she wants to divide into 6 servings . What fraction of a pound will be in each serving

Answer 1

The total amount of pistachios Sonya has =
`(2)/(3)` pound

Since, Sonya wants to divide it into 6 servings.

We have to determine the fraction of a pound, which is to be served in each serving.

The fraction of a pound which is served in each serving =
`(2)/(3) / 6`

=
`(2)/(3) * (1)/(6)`

`= (2)/(18)`

=
`(1)/(9)`

So,
`(1)/(9)` pound of pistachios will be served in each serving.
