Answer:

StartFraction 1 Over 16 EndFraction of a pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Total pounds of sunflower seeds Jordan bought = 9/16 of a pound

Number of snack bags for his lunch = 9

What is the weight of sunflower seeds in each snack bag?

Weight of sunflower seeds in each snack bag = Total pounds of sunflower seeds Jordan bought / Number of snack bags for his lunch

= 9/16 ÷ 9

= 9/16 × 1/9

= (9*1) / (16*9)

= 9 / 144

= 1/16

Weight of sunflower seeds in each snack bag = 1/16 of a pound

Answer:

1/16 of a pound aka A is the correct answer.
