Answer 1

Oh Hello Amy

 

Well let's say you have 10 pounds of candy to be shared by 5 people.

 

Then 10 divided by 5 or 10/5  = 2

 

So each person gets 2 pounds of candy.

 

Specifically , that is 2 pounds per person.

 

If you have more numbers, you divide them the same way.

 

Good LUCK!!!
