A. He eats 1/8 a pound of candy each day.
B. It would take him a total of 8 days to eat a pound of candy.
A. Since he ate 10 ounces in 5 days, you divide 10 by 5 to find he ate 2 ounces per day. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound that would be your denominator (bottom of fraction) and 2 would be the numerator (top of your fraction). You will get 2/16 which if you simplify (divide by 2) you get 1/8.
B. Knowing that there are 16 ounces per pound and he ate 1/8 pound ( 2/16 pound or 2 ounces) a day, you can either look at the simplified denominator to get the answer, or, divide 16 by 2 to get your answer.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
Your friend is kayaking faster.
Step-by-step explanation:
The way to approach this answer is by putting one of them in terms of the other. So that both are in terms of the same time. If you kayak 63 feet in 12 seconds how many feet do you kayak in 2 seconds? Simply divide by 6. 63/6 = 12/6. So, in 2 seconds (12/2) you kayak 10.5 feet (63/6). But your friend kayaks 21 feet in the same time... so he's going faster.

Sorry I can’t really explain this. It just comes into my head
The answer is 2/15.
4x1=4
10x3=30
Simplified by dividing 2 on both side to get 2/15
