    They start with 34.25

    They plan to use 15.5

    They want to use the remaining for 5 portions

    First let's see how much we have left after we use the 15.5 pounds

    34.25 - 15.5 = 18.75 pounds

    So, we have 18.75 pounds remaining. We want to divide this into 5 portions

    18.75 / 5 = 3.75

    So, you will have 3.75 pounds in each portion.
