Question

Albert's mom bought

5 2/3

pounds of potatoes. There are 5 people in Albert's

family and they all eat the same amount of potatoes.

How many pounds of potatos will Albert eat?

Answer 1

When dividing 5 by the lbs of potatoes, use the reciprocal to multiply. You then would have the following, 1 2/15 lbs of potato’s Albert will eat and the rest of the family will eat.

Hope this helps, correct me if I got it wrong :)
