Ten pounds of rice are distributed equally into 6 bags to give out at the food bank. How many pounds are in each bag?

First of all you need to split 10 pounds into 6 which means 10/6 (10 divided by 6). Next, if you want your a mixed number it would be 1 4/6 = 1 2/3
If you want it as a decimal it would be 1.66. Round it if you need to! Hope that helped!!
