5/8 pound of scrambled eggs needs to be divided equally among 5 plates. How much scrambled eggs does each plate get?(1 point) Responses 8 pounds 8/25 3 1/8 pounds 1/8 pound Start Fraction 1 over 8

Answer 1

To find out how much scrambled eggs each plate gets, you can divide the total amount of scrambled eggs (5/8 pound) by the number of plates (5).

\[
\text{Amount per plate} = \frac{5/8 \text{ pound}}{5} = \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{5}{40} = \frac{1}{8} \text{ pound}
\]

So, each plate gets \( \frac{1}{8} \) pound of scrambled eggs.

The correct response is \( \frac{1}{8} \) pound.
