1 answer

To find the weight of each book, you will divide the total weight of all the books by the number of books.

Total weight = 6 2/3 pounds = 20/3 pounds
Number of books = 5

Weight of each book = Total weight / Number of books
Weight of each book = (20/3) / 5 = 4/3 pounds

Each book weighs 4/3 pounds.
