we know that Jen has 6 bags to fill and 14 pounds of candy that she needs to distribute equally among the 6 bags. in order to find out how many pounds of candy will go into each bag,, we will need to divide 14 by 6 which would look like the following:
14 ÷ 6 = 2.333....
when you divide 14 by 6 you get 2.3 repeated,, which can also be referred 2
(1)/(3) pounds per bag. this means that the correct answer to your question is 2
(1)/(3)
let me know if you have any further questions
