Answer: Option A; 1/12
Explanation:
8 people share 2/3 of a pound of roeasted peanuts equally.
This means that each perso in the group receives an eight of (2/3) of a pund
this is: (2/3)/8
Here we write the division by 8 as a multiplication by 1/8
= (2/3)*(1/8) = (2*1)/(3*8) = 2/24
Here we divide both numbers by 2
= 1/12
The correct option is A
