Answer:

[tex]Fraction = \frac{5}{24}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Candy\ Corn = \frac{5}{6}\ lb[/tex]

[tex]Group= 4[/tex]

Required

Determine and solve the fraction for each individual

This question illustrates Mean or Averages;

Mean is calculated as:

[tex]Mean = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]

In this case:

[tex]Mean = \frac{Candy\ Corn}{Group}[/tex]

To get the fraction of each member of the group, we have:

[tex]Fraction = \frac{Candy\ Corn}{Group}[/tex]

[tex]Fraction = \frac{5}{6}/4[/tex]

Solving further:

[tex]Fraction = \frac{5}{6} * \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Fraction = \frac{5}{24}[/tex]
