To find the weight of each book, you need to divide the total weight by the number of books.
Total weight of 5 books = 6 2/3 pounds
To divide, you may convert the mixed fraction, 6 2/3, to an improper fraction.
6 2/3 = (6 * 3 + 2) / 3 = 20/3
Therefore, each book weighs 20/3 pounds.
Alternatively, if you prefer to divide the mixed fraction directly:
6 2/3 pounds ÷ 5 books = (20/3) pounds ÷ 5 books = 20/15 pounds
Simplifying the fraction:
20/15 = (4 * 5)/(5 * 3) = 4/3
Therefore, each book weighs 4/3 pounds.
Total weight of 5 books = 6 2/3 pounds
To divide, you may convert the mixed fraction, 6 2/3, to an improper fraction.
6 2/3 = (6 * 3 + 2) / 3 = 20/3
Therefore, each book weighs 20/3 pounds.
Alternatively, if you prefer to divide the mixed fraction directly:
6 2/3 pounds ÷ 5 books = (20/3) pounds ÷ 5 books = 20/15 pounds
Simplifying the fraction:
20/15 = (4 * 5)/(5 * 3) = 4/3
Therefore, each book weighs 4/3 pounds.

Apologies for the error. Let's calculate the weight of each book correctly.
Total weight of 5 science textbooks = 6 2/3 pounds
To convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction:
6 2/3 = (6 * 3 + 2)/3 = (18 + 2)/3 = 20/3
Weight of each book = (20/3 pounds) / (5 books)
To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal:
Weight of each book = (20/3 pounds) * (1/5 books)
Multiplying fractions:
Weight of each book = (20 * 1) / (3 * 5) = 20/15
Simplifying the fraction:
20/15 = (4 * 5) / (3 * 5) = 4/3
Therefore, each book weighs 4/3 pounds.
