Answer:
Each child will get 1.67 pounds of candy.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Total candies Jared has = 10 pounds
total number of nieces and nephews= 6
Formula to calculate candy for each child:
[tex]\textrm{Amount of candy for each child}= \frac{\textrm{Total candy}}{\textrm{Total number of niece and nephews}}[/tex]
[tex]\textrm{Amount of candy for each child}= \frac{10}{6}[/tex]
Amount of candy for each child = 1.6666666 pounds.
Rounding off to nearest hundred
Amount of candy for each child = 1.67 pounds.
