5/8 pound of scrambled eggs needs to be divided equally among 5 plates.
How much scrambled eggs does each plate get?
To find out how much scrambled eggs each plate gets, we need to divide the total amount of scrambled eggs (5/8 pound) by the number of plates (5).
Dividing 5/8 pound by 5 plates, we get: (5/8) / 5 = 5/40 = 1/8
Therefore, each plate will get 1/8 pound of scrambled eggs.
