We will have the following:
If there are 6 servings in a 2/3 pound package, we will divide the pounds by the number of servings, that is:
[tex]\frac{(\frac{2}{3})}{6}=\frac{(\frac{2}{3})}{(\frac{6}{1})}=\frac{2\cdot1}{3\cdot6}=\frac{2}{18}[/tex][tex]=\frac{1}{9}[/tex]
So, each serving has 1/9 of a pound.
***Explanation***
Since we have 6 servings and then the total value of pounds the package represents we will have that the weigth (in pounds) for each serving is given to us by dividing the total weight by the number of servings.
Now, in order to apply the division of a fraction by another fraction we rewrite the integer 6 as a fraction, and we know that 6 / 1 = 6 so, that is the fraction from for this number (At least the less complicated one) and we proceed with the "ear" opeation.
