Answer:

The answer is 16/10 or 1.6

Explanation:

I'm guessing Scott bought 16 ton of rocks for this question since the question was written weirdly.

We know that Scott will share his 16 ton of rocks with 9 neighbors and himself.

Which means that the answer is 16/10 because Scott is gonna divide his 16 ton of rocks with 10 people. (9 neighbors and himself)

Hope this helps! :)
