Ah, chocolate, the ultimate comfort food! Now let's break down the math together, my friend. So, we have a gourmet chocolate bar that weighs three-fourths of a pound and it has 16 pieces. To find out how much each piece weighs, we need to divide the weight of the chocolate bar by the number of pieces.
So, 3/4 (weight of the chocolate bar) divided by 16 (number of pieces) gives us 3/16 (weight of each piece).
Therefore, the correct answer is C: 3/16. So grab yourself a piece of that delicious chocolate and enjoy!
To find the weight of each piece of chocolate, we need to divide the weight of the chocolate bar by the number of pieces.
The weight of the chocolate bar is three-fourths of a pound, which can also be written as 3/4.
To calculate, we will divide 3/4 by 16:
(3/4) / 16 = 3/4 * 1/16 = 3/64
Therefore, each piece of chocolate weighs 3/64 pounds.
So, the correct answer is D: 3/64.
To find the weight of each piece, we need to divide the total weight of the chocolate bar by the number of pieces.
Given that the gourmet chocolate bar weighs three-fourths of a pound, we can represent this as 3/4.
We can then divide 3/4 by the number of pieces.
So, 3/4 divided by 16 can be calculated as (3/4) ÷ 16 = (3/4) × (1/16) = 3/64.
Therefore, each piece of the chocolate bar weighs 3/64 of a pound.
Hence, the correct answer is option D: 3/64.
