Jake are 4and one half pounds of candy in one week. if he ate the same amount of candy every day how much candy did he eat each day

He ate. 64 pounds of candy each day, (just over 3/5 pounds specified a different way.)

Step-by-step explanation:

4.5 (candy eating in week) / 7 (number of days in week) =.0642 (rounded to. 62)

If rounded to. 6, 3/10ths of a pound = 3/5ths

We can convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction:

4 1/2 → 9/2

Now we divide by 7, since there are 7 days in a week:

9/2 : 7

When we divide, by a number, it can be placed in the denominator:

9/2*7 = 9/14

There's no other way to simplify it, so that's our final answer.
