Answer 1

In order to solve this exercise you need to analyze the information given:

1. The amount of trail mix Aracely has is:

`3lb`

2. Those pounds are divided in 8 equal parts to put them in 8 bags.

Remember that a fraction has the following form:

`(a)/(b)`

Where "a" is the numerator and "b" is the denominator. Both are Integers.

A fraction also indicates a division. Therefore, since you need to divide 3 pounds by 8, you can set up the following:

`(3lb)/(8)=(3)/(8)lb`

The answer is: Option B
