Answer:
[tex]\large \boxed{\frac{1}{15} \text{ lb}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
You are starting with ⅖ lb of fudge. Then you cut it into six pieces.
You want to evaluate ⅖ ÷ 6
1. Treat the integer as a fraction
[tex]\dfrac{2}{5}\div{\dfrac{6}{1}}[/tex]
2. Invert the divisor and change divide to multiply
[tex]\dfrac{2}{5}\times{\dfrac{1}{6}}[/tex]
3. Divide numerator and denominator by 2
[tex]\dfrac{1}{5}\times{\dfrac{1}{3}}[/tex]
4. Multiply numerators and denominators
[tex]\dfrac{1}{5}\times{\dfrac{1}{3}} = \mathbf{\dfrac{1}{15}}\\\\\text{Each piece of fudge weighs $\large \boxed{\mathbf{\frac{1}{15}} \textbf{ lb}}$}[/tex]
