Question

. Ashton picked 6 pounds of pecans. He wants to share the pecans equally among 5 of his neighbors. How many pounds of pecans each neighbor get? A 5/11 pound B 5/6 pounds C 1 1/2 pounds D 2 1/5

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ashton wants to divide 6 pounds of pecans between 5 neighbors. We have to divide 6 by 5 and write it as a mixed number, because we'll get an improper fraction:

`(6)/(5)=(5+1)/(5)=(5)/(5)+(1)/(5)=1+(1)/(5)\rightarrow1(1)/(5)`

Answer:

The correct option is C 1 1/5 pounds
