Question

Annette ordered offee beans to give as Christmas gifts to her teachers. She orders 4/5 pounds and needs to share it equally between three teachers. How many pounds will each teacher receive?

Answer 1

Each teacher will receive approximately 0.27 pounds of coffee beans.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many pounds each teacher will receive, we need to divide the total weight of coffee beans (4/5 pounds) by the number of teachers (3).

First, let's convert the fraction 4/5 pounds into a decimal. Divide the numerator (4) by the denominator (5) to get 0.8 pounds.

Now, divide the total weight (0.8 pounds) by the number of teachers (3). Each teacher will receive approximately 0.27 pounds of coffee beans.
