Solution

The correct option is A $\frac{1}{2}$ lbs
Total quantity of strawberries = $3 \frac{1}{2}$ lb

Total number of containers = 7

To find how much strawberries should be put into each container, we have to divide the total quantity by number of containers.
$3 \frac{1}{2} \div 7$

= $\frac{7}{2}$ $\div$ 7

= $\frac{7}{2}$ $\times$ $\frac{1}{7}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$

Hence, each container can store $\frac{1}{2}$ lb of strawberries.
