Answer: 1/8 pounds of roasted almonds

Explanation:

There are six friends and each of them are to receive and equal piece out of a 3/4 pound of roasted almonds.

The almonds each friend will get will therefore be the 3/4 pack divided by 6:

= 3/4 ÷ 6

= 3/4 * 1/6

= 3/24

= 1/8 pounds of roasted almonds

When dividing by a number, you can instead multiply by the inverse of that number.
