If 3/4 of a pound of strawberries is divided equally into 3 bags, each bag will contain pounds of strawberries.

• A. $\frac{3}{4}$
• B. $\frac{1}{4}$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{1}{4}$

It is divided into 3 parts and put into 3 bags.

Strawberries in each bag
= $\frac{3}{4}$ $÷$ 3
= $\frac{3}{4}$ $\times$ $\frac{1}{3}$
= $\frac{1}{4}$

Hence, each bag contains $\frac{1}{4}$ lb of strawberries.
