Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Quantity of strawberry = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of a pound

Number of smoothies = 6

To find the pounds of strawberries used to make 1 smoothie, divide the total quantity of strawberry by number of smoothies.

Pounds of strawberries used to make 1 smoothie = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] ÷ 6

Use Keep Change Flip method

            [tex]= \frac{3}{4}*\frac{1}{6}\\\\=\frac{1}{4}*\frac{1}{2}\\\\= \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

            = one-eighth of a pound
