We are given the following information:

<em />

<em>each person uses 3/8 a box</em>

<em>there are 6 boxes</em>

Because each box is \frac{8}{8}, and there are 6 boxes, we know that 1 person is \frac{3}{8*6}, or \frac{3}{48}.

In order to find how many people can use the 6 boxes, we can divide it by 3 (for each use):

48 / 3 = 16

Therefore, 16 people can share the worms.

<em>Hope this helps! :)</em>
