For this case we have that the pounds of mulch must be distributed equally to six homes. Then we must make a division.
We convert the mixed number to a fraction:
[tex]122 \frac {5} {8} = \frac {8 * 122 + 5} {8} = \frac {976 + 5} {8} = \frac {981} {8}[/tex]
Now we make the division for six houses:
[tex]\frac {\frac {981} {8}} {6} = \frac {981} {48} = 20.4375[/tex]
Thus, each house corresponds to 20.4375 pounds of mulch.
ANswer:
Each house should have 20.4375 pounds of mulch.
