Question

If 6 people want to share a 30 pound bag of beans equally by weight how many pounds of beans should each person get? Between what two whole numbers does the answer to #1 lie?

Answer 1

Answer:

The 6 people would each get 5lb. of beans. 5 lies between 4 and 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the answer to this problem, all you have to do is divide the total pounds of beans by how many people there are. 30 ÷ 6= 5, so each person would get 5 pounds. Since 5 comes between 4 & 6, you can use that as your answer.
