Hey there,

Your question states: Seven friends shared a 2/3 pound bag of pistachios. If each person had the same amount of nuts, how many pounds did each person eat?

So. . .There are 7 friends that share
(2)/(3) pound bag.

First step: 7÷
(2)/(3)

Your correct answer would be
(21)/(2)

Hope this can help you.
