Question

How much chocolate will each person get if 3 people share 1/2 pound of chocolate?

Answer 1

We are asked to find out how much chocolate each person will get if 3 people share 1/2 pound of chocolate.

This is a division problem.

We need to divide the amount of chocolate by the number of people.

Amount of chocolate = 1/2 pound

Number of people = 3

`(1)/(2)/3=(1)/(2)*(1)/(3)=(1)/(6)`

Therefore, each person will get 1/6 pounds of chocolate.
