apples are sold in bags that are each 17 pounds. if 3 friends equally share 1 bag how many pounds of apples will each friend receive?
17/3 = 5 2/3
17/3=5 2/3
To find out how many pounds of apples each friend will receive, divide the total weight of the bag by the number of friends.
In this case, the bag weighs 17 pounds and there are 3 friends sharing it.
So, to calculate it:
17 pounds ÷ 3 friends = 5.6666 pounds (rounded to 4 decimal places).
Therefore, each friend will receive approximately 5.667 pounds of apples.
