Answer 1

To determine how many grapes each friend gets, we first need to find out the total number of grapes in 6 pounds. Since there are 40 grapes in each pound, we can calculate the total number of grapes as follows:

\[
6 \text{ pounds} \times 40 \text{ grapes/pound} = 240 \text{ grapes}
\]

Next, we will divide the total number of grapes by the number of friends:

\[
\frac{240 \text{ grapes}}{3 \text{ friends}} = 80 \text{ grapes/friend}
\]

Thus, each friend gets 80 grapes. The correct response is:

**80 grapes**
