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.
