Answer:

He ate .64 pounds of candy each day, (just over 3/5 pounds specified a different way.)

Step-by-step explanation:

4.5 (candy eating in week) /7 (number of days in week) = .0642 (rounded to .62)

If rounded to .6, 3/10ths of a pound = 3/5ths

Answer:

We can convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction:

4 1/2 → 9/2

Now we divide by 7, since there are 7 days in a week:

9/2 ÷ 7

When we divide, by a number, it can be placed in the denominator:

9/2*7 = 9/14

There's no other way to simplify it, so that's our final answer.
