Question

5 eggs weigh 2/3 of a pound. How much does each egg weigh? A:1/5 pound B:2/16 pound C:2/15 pound D:1/4 pound

Answer 1

C. 2/15

Explanation:

So since 5 eggs weigh 2/3 of a pound, you have to divide 2/3 by 5 to find how much each egg weighs.

2/3/5 is the same as multiplying 2/3 by 1/5.

This gives you 2/15.
