Answer 2

Hey there!

Assuming you meant he has
`216` pounds if nuts and divides them in to
`(14)/(16)` shares, the correct answer is
`246(6)/(7)`

Since you can divide by multiplying by the reciprocal, we have:

`216 * (16)/(14)` ~To make it easier, we will put
`216` over
`1`.

`(216)/(1) * (16)/(14)` ~Next, multiply the fractions

`(3456)/(14)` ~Then, convert to mixed number

`246 (12)/(14)` ~Simplify

`246(6)/(7)` ~Answer

Hope it helps and have a great day!
