Question 6 Nicole split 5/6 pounds of candy among 3 people. What is the unit rate in pounds per person? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

I'm glad you asked!

Explanation:

5/18 pounds per person.

he problem already says what to do, we need to divide because that's what Karen is doing, she is spliting or dividing the pounds of candy for 3 people. So, we just need to divide 5/6 by 3,

`(5)/(6) / 3 = (5)/(6) * (1)/(3) =(5)/(18)`

5/18 per person.
