Answer:
Each person will get 4/5, or 0.8 pounds of nuts.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to convert 7 1/5 into an improper fraction, by multiplying
7 x 5 = 35
and adding
35 + 1 = 36
Our improper fraction is 36/5
Now, we can divide
36 / 9
5 / 1
To do so, we need to switch 9/1 to its reciprocal, 1/9, and then multiply
36 x 1 = 36
5 x 9 = 45
Our answer is 36/45
We can simplify our answer by dividing by 9
36 / 9 = 4
45 / 9 = 5
Our final answer is 4/5, or 0.8 pounds of nuts
