Answer:

3/28 pounds or approximately 0.107 pounds

Explanation:

To find out the amount of cake that each of the 7 students would get, we simply need to split the 3/4th pounds of cake amongst the 7 students.

Simply write the equation as follows:

(3/4)/7 = 3/28

So each student would get 3/28 of a pound of cake which is approximately 0.107 pounds of cake.

Cheers.
