5 people want to evenly share a 1/3 pound bag of peanuts
32 nuts each
(1/3)/5 = 1/3 * 1/5 = 1/15 Lb each.
To evenly share a 1/3 pound bag of peanuts among 5 people, you need to divide the weight of the bag by the number of people. Here's how you can calculate it:
1. Start by converting 1/3 pound into a decimal. There are 16 ounces in a pound, so 1/3 pound is equal to (1/3) * 16 = 5.333 ounces.
2. Divide the weight of the bag (in ounces) by the number of people. In this case, divide 5.333 ounces by 5 people.
5.333 ounces / 5 people = 1.0666 ounces per person
Therefore, each person should receive approximately 1.0666 ounces of peanuts in order to evenly share the 1/3 pound bag.
