Jake ate 4 1/2 pounds of candy in one week. If he ate the same amount of candy everyday, how much candy did he eat each day

Question

It is a Math problem 

Answer 1

4 1/2 ÷ 7 = 9/2 ÷ 7 = (9/2)(1/7) = 9/14 of a pound

Answer 2

We can convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction:

4 ¹/₂ → ⁹/₂

Now we divide by 7, since there are 7 days in a week:

⁹/₂ ÷ 7

When we divide, by a number, it can be placed in the denominator:

⁹/_2*7 = ⁹/₁₄

There's no other way to simplify it, so that's our final answer.
