To find the weight of the beans in each portion, we need to divide the total weight of the beans by the number of portions.
The total weight of the beans is given as 5 containers, each weighing 7 pounds. So, the total weight of the beans is 5 * 7 = 35 pounds.
Since the produce manager wants to divide the beans into 3 equal-weight portions, we divide the total weight of the beans by 3.
Therefore, the weight of the beans in each portion is 35 pounds / 3 = 11.67 pounds (rounded to two decimal places).
To find the weight of the beans in each portion, we need to first determine the total weight of the beans.
The produce manager receives 5 containers of green beans, each weighing 7 pounds. So, the total weight of the beans is 5 containers * 7 pounds = 35 pounds.
Now, we need to divide this total weight into 3 equal-weight portions. To do this, we can divide the total weight by the number of portions (3) to get the weight of each portion.
35 pounds / 3 portions = 11.67 pounds (rounded to two decimal places).
Therefore, the weight of the beans in each portion is approximately 11.67 pounds.
