From the statement, we know that 15 people will share a salad that weighs 6 pounds.

The ratio of pounds of salad per person is:


\frac{6\text{ pounds}}{15\text{ people}}=\frac{2*3\text{ pounds}}{5*3\text{ people}}=\frac{2\text{ pounds}}{5\text{ people}}.

Answer

Each person will eat 2/5 pounds of salad.
