Question

John bought 2 5-pound bags of candy to share with his classmates. If there are 25 students in johns class, how much candy will each student recieve

Answer 1

Hello,

If you have 2 5-pound bags of candy, that means you have 2 * 5 = 10 pounds of candy to share with the class.

As there are 25 students to share the candy with, divide 10 / 25 = 2/5 of a pound

Each student will receive 2/5 of a pound of candy.

Hope this helps!
