Finn divided a 5-pound bag of flour into 3 equally-sized containers. what fraction of pound of flour did he put into each container

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Finn divided a 5-pound bag of flour into 3 equally-sized containers

so

To find out what fraction of pound of flour did he put into each container

Divide the total pound of flour by the number of containers

Let

x ----> the total pound of flour

y ---> the number of containers

we have

step-by-step explanation:

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
