If I have 2 1/8 pounds of candy and want to give a 1/2 pounds of candy to each of my friends, how many friends can I give 1/2 pounds of candy to?
I came up with 2 1/8 divided by 1/2 and got 4 1/4. So, I can give 4 of my friends a 1/2 pounds of candy.
Then it asked how many pounds of candy is left for me? I'm not sure what equation to use to figure this out. Thanks!
