Madison, this is the solution:
Number of bird cages = 6
Total bird seed Wayne has = 3/4 of a pound
For calculating the amount of pounds in each bird cage, we need to divide the total bird seed by the number of bird cages, as follows:
3/4 / 6
We use the multiplicative inverse of 6 that is 1/6
Therefore,
3/4 * 1/6 = 3/24
Simplifying:
3/24 = 1/8
Wayne can put 1/8 of a pound of bird seed in each bird cage.
