Question

If there are 6 serving in a 2/3 pound lb package of pound is in each serving

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{\math{\frac{1}{9}\text{ lb}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Size of one serving} = \dfrac{\text{Total size}}{\text{No of servings}} = \dfrac{\frac{2}{3}\text{ lb}}{\text{6 servings}}\\\\\text{Change the 6 to a fraction and change divide to multiply}\\\\\dfrac{2}{3} \div 6 = \dfrac{2}{3} \times \dfrac{1}{6}$

$\text{Cancel the 2s}\\\\\dfrac{2}{3} \times \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{1}{3}\\\\\text{Multiply numerators and denominators}\\\\\dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{1}{9}\\\\\text{Each serving contains }\boxed{\mathbf{\frac{1}{9}\textbf{ lb}}}$
