Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 bags to be shared among 7 people.

Therefore each person will get 3/7    bags.

I couldn't think of a way of explaining the question in terms of bags when I wrote my answer. Suppose you try this.

Weigh each bag separately.

Add the weights (or masses) together.

Divide by 7

Another way is to weigh each bag separately. There are three bags and seven people. Each person will get 3 parts of the total divided by 7.

This will solve the problem in a practical manner. Give the Brainliest to the other responder who did a much better job of explaining it than I have.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{7}{3}[/tex] or 2[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of a bag of trail mix

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the fraction of trail mix each friend will get, divide the number of friends by the number of bags of trail mix:

Since there are 7 friends and 3 bags of trail mix, the fraction will be [tex]\frac{7}{3}[/tex]

This can also be simplified to a mixed fraction, 2[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

So, each friend will receive [tex]\frac{7}{3}[/tex] or 2[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of a bag of trail mix.
