Question

Nine friends share 12 pounds of pecans equally. How many pounds of pecans does each friend get?

Answer 1

Answer: $1\frac{1}{3}\ pounds$ of pecans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Nine friends share 12 pounds of pecans equally.

The total amount of pecans = 12 pounds

The total number of friends =9

If all friends share 12 pounds of pecans equally, then

The amount of pecans each friend has=$12\div9$ pounds

Thus, The amount of pecans each friend has=$\frac{12}{9}=\frac{4}{3}=1\frac{1}{3}\ pounds$

Hence, each friend has $1\frac{1}{3}\ pounds$ of pecans.

Answer 2
