Question

London in column bought 1/2 pound of peanuts they are sharing the nuts equally how many pounds of nuts do each person get

Answer 1

Answer: 1/4 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Full question is:

Landon and Colin bought a 1/2 pound of peanuts. They are sharing the nuts equally. How many pounds of peanuts will each person get?​

There are 2 people here - London and Colin - and they are to share 1/2 pounds of nuts equally amongst themselves.

They should therefore divide the nuts in 2:

= Amount of nuts / Number of people

= 1/2 ÷ 2

= 1/2 * 1/2

= 1/4 pounds

Note: When dividing a fraction, multiply the inverse of the divisor.
