Sally is making 15 individual blueberry cheesecakes. How many pounds of blueberries will be in each cheesecake if 5 1/4 pounds of blueberries are divided equally among them?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.35 pounds in each cheesecake

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of individual blueberry cheesecakes = 15

Pounds of blueberries = 5 1/4 pounds

How many pounds of blueberries will be in each cheesecake if 5 1/4 pounds of blueberries are divided equally among them?

= 5 1/4 ÷ 15

= 21/4 ÷ 15

= 21/4 × 1/15

= (21*1)/(4*15)

= 21/60 pounds

Equivalent to 0.35 pounds in each cheesecake
