Answer: 1/16 of a pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question:

Jordan bought 9/16 of a pound of sunflower seeds and divided them evenly into 9 snack bags for his lunch. What is the weight of sunflower seeds in each snack bag?

1/16 of a pound

1/9of a pound

16/81 of a pound

81/16 pounds

From the question, we are told that Jordan bought 9/16 of a pound of sunflower seeds and then divided them equally into 9 snack bags for his lunch. To get the weight of sunflower seeds in each snack bag, we will divide 9/16 by 9 snack bags. This can be written mathematically as:

= 9/16 ÷ 9

= 9/16 × 1/9

= 1/16

The weight of sunflower seeds in each snack bag will be 1/16 of a pound.
