Question

Bill, Lil, and Phil are going to equally share a bag of snacks for the weekend that holds 2 1/4 lb. How much will each receive?

Answer 1

Each will receive
`(3)/(4)`lbs of snacks.

Explanation:

We know Bill, Lil, and Phil are sharing one bag of snacks that is 2
`(1)/(4)`lbs. Therefore, we must divide the bag of snacks into three.

To do this, divide 2
`(1)/(4)`÷3

= 0.75

which is
`(3)/(4)` in fraction form.
