8 pounds

Answer 1

To find out how much scrambled eggs each plate gets, we can divide 5/8 pound by 5:

\[
\frac{5}{8} \div 5 = \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{5 \times 1}{8 \times 5} = \frac{5}{40} = \frac{1}{8}
\]

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

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