Question

Carly, Brandon and Wyatt gather and shell walnuts for their grandfather. Carly gathers 3.5 pounds of walnuts. Brandon collects 3.75 pounds of walnuts and Wyatt collects 2 pounds. If they place all of the walnuts in one basket and each shells the same amount of walnuts, how many pounds will each person she

Answer 1

Answer: 3.083 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of walnuts gathered by Carly = 3.5 pounds

Amount of walnuts gathered by Brandon = 3.75 pounds

Amount of walnuts gathered by Wyatt = 2 pounds

Total walnuts gathered = 3.5 + 3.75 + 2 = 9.25 pounds

Since they shared the walnuts equally, each person will get:

= 9.25pounds/3

= 3.083 pounds
