Answer:

Dominic and his 5 friends would each receive 0.375 pounds of Swedish Fish.

Explanation:

To split the 2.25 pounds of Swedish Fish evenly between Dominic and his 5 friends, we need to divide the total amount by 6 (Dominic + 5 friends):

2.25 ÷ 6 = 0.375

Therefore, Dominic and his 5 friends would each receive 0.375 pounds (or 6 ounces) of Swedish Fish.
