Answer:
Each Child get = 0.928 pounds of candy
Step-by-step explanation:
Total no of girls are 3
total no of boys are 4
Total no boys and girls are = 3 + 4
= 7
Now it is given that Mr Reese booth have some pound of candies and he wants to distribute it equally among each children
total candy Mr Reese have is [tex]6\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Now converting it to proper fraction
[tex]6\frac{1}{2}[/tex] =[tex]\frac{6*2+1}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{13}{2}[/tex]
Now the amount of candy have =[tex]\frac{13}{2}[/tex]
Now we have to divide it into 7 kids
so
each kid get = total candy / total children
=[tex]\frac{13}{2}[/tex]÷7
Changing the divide sign to multiplication
[tex]=\frac{13}{2}*\frac{1}{7}[/tex]
Which becomes
[tex]=\frac{13}{14}[/tex]
solving it gives
Each Child get = 0.928 pounds of candy
