Josie bought a 4 ounce bag of candy and she shared equally among her two friends. How many pounds will each friend get?
she had 1/4 lb. If she, and two friends got equal portions.
each=1/3*1/4= 1/12 lb
0.25/3 = 0.08333 pound
To answer this question, we need to convert the 4 ounce bag of candy into pounds and then divide it equally between Josie's two friends.
1. First, convert the 4 ounces into pounds. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, divide 4 by 16:
4 ounces / 16 ounces per pound = 0.25 pounds
2. Next, divide the 0.25 pounds of candy equally between the two friends:
0.25 pounds / 2 friends = 0.125 pounds per friend
So, each friend will get 0.125 pounds of candy.
