Answer:
5/16 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem mentions that Audrey needs to cut a 5-pound block into 16 pieces. This means that each of the 16 pieces of cheese must weigh the same, thus we have to divide 5 pounds by 16 to divide the weight equally. Thus, all you need to do is divide 5 by 16, giving you 5/16. Therefore, your answer is that each block of cheese weighs 5/16 pounds.
