- Karen split (divides) 5/6 pounts of candy among 3 people.
The problem already says what to do, we need to divide because that's what Karen is doing, she is spliting or dividing the pounds of candy for 3 people. So, we just need to divide 5/6 by 3,
[tex]\frac{5}{6} \div 3 = \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{3} =\frac{5}{18}[/tex]
Therefore, the unit rate in pounds per person is 5/18 pounds, because Karen divided 5/6 pounds amon 3 people.
