Since Kenneth shared the basket with 3 friends, there are 4 people total in the problem. Therefore, if you divide 14.75 by 4 , the result is 3.6875 lbs per person. For the 3 friends, the total would be 3 * 3.6875 or 11.0625 pounds for all three friends.
This is assuming that Kenneth kept a portion for himself.
