If Laura has 6 pounds of chocolate, and she cuts them all into blocks that each weigh 1/5 of a pound, then the total number of blocks of chocolate would be;


\begin{gathered} \text{Total}=6\text{pounds} \\ \text{Total}=(6)/(1)\text{ / }(1)/(5) \\ \text{Total}=(6)/(1)*(5)/(1) \\ \text{Total}=30\text{ blocks} \end{gathered}

Note that the chocolates have been cut in such a way that each weighs 1/5 of a pound, which means, each pound has been cut into 5 equal parts. Therefore, the total of 6 pounds of chocolate would yield 6 times 5 which equals 30 blocks of chocolate.
