Cleo and jandi are having a Halloween party. They have 3 1/2 pounds of candy to divide into 14 goodie bags. How much candy will be in each bag?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1/4 pound(s) of candy in each bag

Step-by-step explanation:

3 1/2 (pounds of candy) ÷ 14 (goodie bags) = ?

To make this easier let's turn 3 1/2 into a improper fraction and flip 14/1 (14/1 to 1/14):

3 1/2 = 7/2       14/1 = 1/14

Now we multiply:

7/2 x 1/14 = 7/28 = 1/4

(When you divide fractions, you can flip the second fraction and multiply and get your answer. Remember to simplify once you get your answer!)
