a 2 1/2 pound bag of peanuts is shared among 5 friends how many pounds of peanuts will each person get

thx

To find out how many pounds of peanuts each person will get, you need to divide the weight of the bag of peanuts by the number of friends it is being shared among.

In this case, we have a 2 1/2 (or 2.5) pound bag of peanuts and 5 friends. To divide the weight evenly among the friends, you need to perform the following calculation:

2.5 pounds / 5 friends = 0.5 pounds

Therefore, each person will get 0.5 pounds of peanuts.

(5/2)/5 = (5/2) * 1/5 = 5/10 = 1/2
