How many pounds of peanuts will each person get if 3 people share 1/5 pound of peanuts equally?

1/15

To find out how many pounds of peanuts each person will get, we can start by determining the total amount of peanuts shared.

Given that 3 people are sharing 1/5 pound of peanuts equally, we need to divide the total weight of peanuts by the number of people.

To do this, we can divide 1/5 pound by 3:

1/5 pound ÷ 3 = 1/5 × 1/3 = 1/15 pound.

So, each person will get 1/15 pound of peanuts.
