To find the weight of the beans in each portion, we first need to determine the total weight of the green beans.
The produce manager received 5 containers of green beans, and each container weighs 7 pounds. Therefore, the total weight of the green beans is 5 containers multiplied by 7 pounds per container, which equals 35 pounds.
Next, we need to divide this total weight into 3 equal portions. To do this, we divide the total weight by the number of portions, which is 3.
35 pounds รท 3 portions = 11.67 pounds
So, the weight of the beans in each portion is approximately 11.67 pounds.
